Indicators not working properly. - SV650.org

15-10-10, 11:36 AM

My indicators work fine at a standstill, with the engine running. Once I get moving, the RHS indicators won't work - they light up for about 1/2 a flash, then won't relight. The LHS indicators then won't work for around 30 secs, after which they're ok. Once I've been moving, the problem continues even with the bike at standstill, until I turn the engine off and restart.

Bike is a naked curvy (99). I have a Givi Wingrack with integral indicators fitted, but all was working fine until yesterday! Any experience/thoughts/input/wisdom?

id say its a simple connections issue, check the wiring

IF you've not changed anything recently then probably a loose connection.

I had a similar problem however - indicators would work (on my pointy) perfectly fine as long as the rev's were below +-2500rpm. As soon as I moved off or the revs climbed, all indicators would stop working. In the end it was the flasher relay - the replacement was a pattern piece for a Bandit (from wemoto.com) that seemed to work fine except for this somewhat random problem. A £70 (!!) SV650 relay and problem disappeared.

Good luck!
