hey guys first post here

i went to work this morning with my indicators working no problems, went to start my bike earlier and went to indicator out of where i work and nothing! no signal on the display in front of me to show the indicators are on and none of the bulbs illuminate.

y first protocol was to check if the fuse had blown. it was visually fine but i thought i better check by replacing with a new one. no luck

am abit stuck where to go from here. could it be a problem with the switch itself? or possibly the bulb on the display not lighting up? would this stop my indicators coming on?

All this rain may have something to do with it, but I would geuss at a new flasher unit needed.

3/4 of the way down here, or better still call your local Honda dealer for a new one.

the indicators just randomly came on :S like u mentioned could be abit of damp however i have had to slide the button 2/3 times to the right to indicate right if that makes sense. rather than the usual once.

Yeah the flasher relay is on it's way out.
Sometimes they stay on as one constant light, and other times they flash really quick.

I'm not to sure where is is located, but it's usually a small black box cliped to the frame somewhere.
There's a PDF manual here, download as free user, enter the code and download.

I would look towards the switch personally.

When my relay went the dash light came on solid as did the indi's

Try the relay as its pretty cheap to find a generic one but you could have some worn area in the actual switch or just water... spray the switch with some WD40.

What paddy said, i've had this on my VTR1000 and my XJ600, corrosion on the contact in the switch, hence switching it 2 or 3 times scratched some off? i'd take the switch apart and give the contact a clean i used some wet and dry.
