    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Turn signals not working?

The turn signals on my 1981 GS450E have decided to pack up!
It started slowly...
Firstly they would cut out when taking a corner and the bike is tilted at an angle.
Then, after about 3 weeks, they stopped working - only working when I leaned the bike to the side.

Now they've decided to stop all together!
When I flick the turn signal switch the relay under the side cover clicks (As I assume it should).

Any advice? At the moment I have the fueltank and entire engine block out of the way so I thought Id try get to the bottom of the turn signal problem!

Any help would be welcome! Thanks!
 
Yes - I thought that too.

The relay is still clicking closed when the switch is turned on, does that mean that the faulty connection would be towards the rear of the bike?

Just a thought. And does anyone know where to find the flasher unit for the turn signals on a GS450???
 
Have you already tried bikebandit? that's where i ordered the relay for my 850. It was $40.

z1 enterprises might have it, too.
 
Thanks for all the info and advice - It turned out to be the flasher unit.
Replaced that and all is working as good as new!
:D
