    Question Turn signal dissatisfaction

    The turn signal switch on my recently purchased 2015 se5 st limited does not cancel when you push in on the switch. Only 3980 miles on this bike. Anyone else have this issue?r

    Question: Are you 100% sure that you're pushing straight in on it?
    I'm not meaning to insult you; these switches can be a bit finicky about their inputs.
    We've heard of some failures: worst-case scenario, is that you'd need to replace it.

    I was having the same problem it turned out to be a short between the seat and the turn signal switch. In computer term it was called an "oh 3" error. The short was me.

    Seems to be the dealer's prooblem---if it's still under warranty.

    Even when the switch works properly, it is the worst turn signal switch on any motorcycle I've driven since the 70's.... How did they find that switch????? They must have purchased a quarter million of them and haven't run out of inventory yet. I've often wondered if anyone has ever swapped out a switch in then left handlebar console?

    If its still under warranty, let the dealer deal with it. I have experienced "finiky" switches on pretty much all of the spyders that I have owned. Since my newest is now three years old--I have learned to live with it.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Ah, yes. Finding the "cancel" position is an art form with Spyders!

    Yes, there was a warranty fix for a dodgy indicator switch on the 13 ST. They replaced left hand switch block.

    Agreed. Why put such a short, hard to access switch on there? Irritating. Reminds a lot of most of the ergonomics on these things. Quirky designs at best. Frunk opening with the key is dumb, would it kill them to have a latch like the saddlebags? Gas cap design is awkward, nowhere to push down on the cap to close it because the key cannot be removed. Who approves these things?
    Yeah i know, i know, ive been blasted before, if i dont like it just sell it. Smh. I still like the Spyder, just wish the ergos were more user friendly.
