Flasher switch

Fer godsake, Whitey. Is your Google broken?

Don't say I never gave you anything. This will work for your bike although it's a year earlier.

Hey Laitch, you gotta cut me some slack.  I'm a newbie to BMW.  Who would have thought the fuses would have been identified in the Riders Manual and not the wiring diagrams in the Clymer?  Anyway, I appreciate your help.  Guess I need a refresher course on reading and comprehension--particularly the new terms being tossed at me, i.e., perch, centre, etc, etc.  I want to ride but need to mend a few things before I do any serious riding.  I did grease the side and center stands last night, as the side stand was a bit sluggish, but not anymore.

When does your riding season crank up?

True story............I was actually asked recently by a "Snow Bird" from Minnisota , "Why do you need so many motorcycles when you can't ride but one at a time?"..................and I told him " why do you have so many golf clubs........one for every task". His visa is cancelled for next winter season Smart ass Yankee, Southern Man don't need......oh, we already did that one.

Me, for one. Consider slack cut, for whatever that's worth, Whitey.

Riders are on the hard surface here already. Dirt bikes are starting to thump through the mud up here, too, but I'm biding my time, hiding my ride from residual salt—adjusting this, tweaking that, installing the other—but mostly bucking logs and splitting wood while the weather's cool and the black flies are dormant. Probably roll out mid-May and stay rolling as long as I can.

Tested the hot wire to the flasher switch last night and voltage was good.  Pulled switch out of panel (unloosened the wire straps on the neck tube to provide some slack in the flasher wires), took switch apart and determined not all the parts are in that switch, so I ordered a new one this morning.  May never have to use the flashers (hope I don't) but I did check them and they function properly once the circuit is completed from the hot wire to the ground.  This is what the rocker switch is supposed to do.  This from the Department of Redundancy Department.

Way to go, WD, that's the way to follow through......good job.
