Turnsignals only work when headlight is off gs750 78

[Guest]

As the title say,
I noticed today that the Turnsignals only work when the headlight k's off.
Only checked if I get anything out of the relay and it goes out headlamp on or not.

Common thing or awful mystery problem?

I would say that your charging system and/or electrical connections are not doing their job. Clean all your electrical connections, check water level in your battery and get a volt meter to check the volts while running. Blinkers not working is a sign your not putting out enough voltage...

... Turnsignals only work when the headlight k's off.

What's a "headlight k"?

Hmmm...This feature has potential!.... I like the idea of having my daytime running lights flash when my turn signals flash.

Uhm, ink where the k came from... Ghost in the machine.
Or clumsy fingers and a smart phone. The K was suppose to have been a '

Battery is brand new, charged fine before, guess I just go trough a bunch
Was just hoping for a simple solutions

OK, while we are at this translation thing, where did the ink come from ?

Uhm, ink where the k came from...

Really, we are not texting, we are not paying by the letter, please use all the letters available on your keyboard.

Ink was suppose to say idk but my phone corrected the spelling...
And the k is next to the ' on my phones keyboard.. If there is any other horrible grammatical errors etc it might be because I'm born and
raised in Sweden...

That being said, until i get my multi-meter back from a "friend" (feel like i paid the price of said meter to never have to talk to him again) i just have to wave with my arms i guess, it does charge but not as fast as I'm used too

Not charging like you are used to?? Recover your multimeter and do the quick test in this link and start to find out why....

You do need to check the battery voltage.

Turn signals not working, meaning they do light up but don't flash is a symptom of low voltage (not enough current to operate the flasher).., ANd when you turn off the headlight that removes enough load so voltage rizes a little, enough that the signals can flash.
THat is the first clue that are having a problem, next clue will be not starting or dying on side of road.

If you only go on short rides, you may get bye for a while by putting it on a charger for a few hours before and after every ride.
