Stock turn signal issue

sshikari · July 25th, 2012, 10:54 AM

I sent my bike to a mechanic to get the carbs cleaned. When I got it back, I notice that my right turn signals work fine, but if I try to blink left, the front one does not light up and the back one stays solid. The green light on the dashboard also stays solid when turning left, but blinks when turning right.

Do you guys think that this is a wiring issue or does the behavior indicate that a bulb is out?

If it is a bulb issue, does anyone know the part number for a stock front turn signal? I was going to try amazon. Thanks!

Maybe he forgot to plug the light back in. You can probably reach it through the side fairing. Part number can be found through the search function.

^Kinda sounds like that. Wiring systems counts on resistance of the bulbs.

Thanks, I'll check the plugs and post afterwards.

Thanks for your help, it was in fact an un-plugged wire under the left fairing.
