?Turn Signal Question?

[Cougar]

Is it just my bike? or do you have the same problem?

 

Myself. (not that far away) Like to turn my turn signals

on before I turn left or right. Just like I do in my truck.

 

The problem I have always have had is the turn signal

 

always turns OFF (times-out) before I get to the

turn and I have to set it again,

Is there a way to make it stay on longer?

Thanks for any info.

I think I read in the operator's manual that the signals turn off after the bike has traveled a certain distance with the blinkers on. I have learned how near/far away I can turn the signal on as I approach a turn, so that it turns off just after completing the turn. I guess I've also just gotten into the habit of periodically pressing the cancel button every couple of minutes just to make sure the signals are not on when I don't want to broadcast an unintended movement (plus my last bike - Intruder 1500 - did not have any cancelling capability). I'd hate to get cut off by a cage because I wasn't paying attention to my signals.

I got into the habit of hitting my turn signal and then hitting it again when I'm about half the distance between when I originally turned it on and when I'm going to make the turn. I like to signal my intent to turn farther away from the actual turn than the turn signal will allow.

 

Also have a tendency to turn it off afterward as well.
