Self canceling turn signals 4 Years, 10 Months ago
|
|
|
Can someone explain how the self canceling turn signals work? Is it mechanical or electronic? And is it speed, distance or time dependent?
Is the interval adjustable? I find myself always turning them off manually as it seems they stay on too long after a turn. Don't want to give some car driver an excuse to pull out in front of me.

If you have your owners manual it explains how they work.
Basically, you have to be moving for them to shut off. If you are just sitting at a light forever, they will not turn off. You have to be moving and forget to shut them off. That's about all I know about them.
I never wait for them to self cancel, it's just there so just in case you forget to turn them off you don't look like a dork riding down the road with your turn signal on!  |

The signal lights are connected to the switch which in turn is connected to a signal light relay and then by a single wire to the meter assembly...in the dash
They will self cancel after the bike has travelled 150 m or 15 sec which ever comes first..so they are both distance and time dependent and the bike has to be moving...ok
so there must be some sort of computer chip in the meter assembly that can compute
distance from the odometer and clock????
Now here is where I get brain fouling....
I think if you put the signals on as you roll to a stop they will turn off after fifteen seconds...
So you must turn them on again..
if you are not moving they will stay on ..but as soon as you start moving they will self cancel after moving 150 m or 15 sec....
Next ride I am going to see if this is so...  |

Pop,
you've given me a test to do next time I'm riding.
150m or 15 sec strikes me as way too long.

Mine turn off after 150 yds (meters)of movement, have never had them go off on a timer yet. Sat thru 3 lights in traffic today and they stayed on until I traveled the distance.

Why don't they put self cancelling turn signals on cars? I hate following someone for miles and their blinker is winking at me the whole time.

The timer cancel is suspended when the bike is not moving. At least that's what it says in the book page 3-6.

The 15 seconds is about right. In fact turns off a hiway I turn them on too soon, and sometimes they cancel before the turn.
Seems to me if they are staying on too long after the turn, you are not turning them on soon enough..
