rdivy - They go nutty not a simple lamp or relay issue etc. - sometimes one will come on and stay on or both will come on but usually no blinking. Does different things at different RPM. According to wisdom provided here it is a result of crud in the starter and there are load shedding electronics in there that malfunction, BMWs go figure. A temp/easy fix also suggested here is to stop the motor, kill switch off, push or roll the bike backwards and release the clutch. I found a road with a nice grade and used gravity to help. Did it several times, all set now with the leak stopped. Tried it several times last fall before I stopped the leak and the fix would only last a few miles. Bottom line get the bike back on the road without reinjuring my back. Need the back for work. There is a thread here somewhere describing the problem and above solution. What was the problem and solution with your turn indicators?
Daveson - yeah know that but with the back issue I am in get the bike back on the road - heal up the rest of the way and then do more permanent repairs if needed mode. I have not looked at a good diagram of the motor, clutch and transmission area. I am wondering if the starter crud issue is/was caused by the leak. Both began about the same time. Now the leak has stopped the turn signals are working again after the turn signal fix, coincidence? Time will tell. Right now I am back on the road and getting in some bike time so I am happy with that. Hope to get out for a few miles later today.
