    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...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Auto Cancel Signals

What do I need to have the Self Cancelling turn signals work correctly? They work except for the Self cancel part. I understand they need a signal from a speed sensor to tell the relay when to cancel. Where does this signal come from?

I've been through the wiring to correct all the bad grounds and poor connections but still have intermittent problems. Sometime they work, other times ??????

Thanks in advance for the help.

I had the same problem till some smart ass in Holland pointed out that they wouldnt work on my 1100e if the speedo cable was broken or dis connected.

I wish they never existed. :x I'll be sitting at a light and notice that the fool things have decided to take a brake...one of these days it's going to get me a ticket.

There's a small magnetic sensor (Reed relay?) on top of the speedo, that generates the signal for the self canceling turn signals.
It looks like a small tube with two wires connected to it.
It just clicks into place. It might have fallen out.
Happened to one of my GS's once.

Speedo working great.

I'd use it the way they are but I've gotten very used to them self cancelling and end up driving for mile with my last turn flashing away.

I guess the guy behind me is cursing up a storm &%$@&*)(!)(#^*)*&!&*

Since they work every once in awhile, I'm hoping it's something simple.
 
Thanks jojo!

I got that post while I was typing my last reply.


I'l take a look this weekend.

Disconnected mine.......... I like manual control over my signals.
 
Ditch the whole deal and get yourself a left handlebar switch from an early GSXR with push to cancel. I got one from a '90 model and it plugs right into the '82 wiring harness. No splicing required. Then go under the left side cover, disconnect the control unit and throw it away. Saves weight and you have functional turn signals.
