Hello Gentle people of this lovely forum I'm rather a new motorcyclist currently and I have a slight problem and hoped you might help or give a little advice on what may be wrong with my bike.

Today I have gone out to start my bike up to run down town and fill her up, but after turning the her on found that the indicator was its normal ticking noise, I thought I may of left it on last night ran through the usual lights and indicator checks, everything was fine and flashing away turned the indicators off and noticed its still making the tick tick noise, so I'v been down town to fill her up and come back still making the ticking noise as though the indicator is left on, currently I have rung the garage up but they have closed now and I wouldn't be able to drop the bike off till next weekend, so I was hoping you lot may have a suggestion on what could be causing the ghost indicator tick.

My bike is a Lexmoto Hawk 125 (I know a chinese bike Embarassed but shes been fine in over 700 miles now)

Its under warranty as well so if not I'll take her in next week and get them to sort it.

You probably have a short between the indicator relay and the indicator lights.

Find the indicator relay it's a cork size or match box type sized thing that will tick. Trace the wiring for fraying towards the indicator switch.

Answers itself: no brainer to let them deal with a problem on the bike you're paying them -- via services -- to look after.

I'd say -- as a broad claim -- that every chinese bike encounters electrical issues at least once in their life time. My LM Arrow had fast flashing indicators for the majority of its lifetime and one or two electrical issues along the way, including one that resulted in the final straw towards flogging it on. Not to diverse too much, however, it's probably easier to let them -- the shop you got it from -- go over it.
