    GS1000C Turn Signal Noises

    When I turn the signals on there is a high pitch noise that turns on with the bulbs and stops when the signal is off (either between blinks or totally shut off).

    I just replaced the flasher relay because of this and the fact that they didnt blink at all. Now they blink but the noise stayed. When I unplug the flasher relay the noise stops but the signals dont work (as they shouldnt). Has anyone else had this issue? And how do I fix it?

    There's a little round unit that makes the sound under the gas tank

    It's there to remind you the turn signals are on

    Just unplug it if it bothers you

      Yep, I found one of them on a bike once. The owner asked me to remove it.

          And when your battery/charging system is on its' last legs it turns into an extra annoying squack instead of a beep.
