Turn signals problem

[rock_rebel]

Currently have two in the rear, but none in the front, just the wires sticking out. When I turn the bike on and press the signal lights lever to the left or right, the light doesn't appear on the dash. The lights in the rear don't come on either.

I've just checked that there were no loose connections so far. What else should I try?

Sorry if there's an existing thread on this, but maybe someone can post me a link to it?

Thanks.

Jury rig the connection for fronts ... Might be a non-completed circuit issue?

Do the headlights work? The horn? If no, it is the left hand control connector.
A fried flasher unit would prevent them from working.
You can short out the flasher and the turn signals should come on solid.

Both the headlight and horn works. I should probably install the front signals to see if it would fix the issue.

They can work with fronts disconnected: same as if the bulb burnt out.
But try anyway. You can connect up any 12v bulb of 8-15 watts to see if they work (if you don't have turn signals).

Yes, bulbs burn out easily. In KL I had Suzuki Belang 150 engine to go to university from my home. Always "blowing" front kerbside indicator bulb. In one year it maybe "blew" 4 indicator bulbs. My Dad helped me and we cleaned all the connections and we checked the  wiring routes with a multi tester. That was very hard so many wires in wire loom are under the petrol tank on the Belang. And the wire loom is often encased in black plastic tube. In end we gave up and then I took the motorcycle to the Garage and they told us it was going to be a voltage spike. The voltage spike was why indicator bulb "blown." They said thjat the indicator bulb on that side was like the weak point on the motorcycle electrical distribution circuit. So we said what can we do? And the Garage said that the regualator can be replaced. But that was very expensive. In the end we didn't fix it but just "lived" withj it. And I sold the motorcycle when I came to Australia.
