  • weird question

    so i am actually looking for some help in a hurry. it isn't a big problem, but my right turn signal light won't turn off. it doesn't flash, it just stays lit. i have the key out of the bike and in my hand, and the thing just keeps blazing away in my garage. I am gonna pull the battery if I can't get it to stop. have tried the left turn signal, works great, but doesn't stop the right. brake light works, and again, doesn't stop the right turn signal. in gear, out of gear, clutch in, clutch out, the thing just keeps on...any thoughts?

      am i gonna have to pull that apart. i was hoping it would fix itself (yeah right!) but i didn't and after messing with the switch without taking it apart, i just disconnected the battery. oh well, i guess i'll tear into the switch soon enough!
