My dealer has ordered and received a new turn signal switch . I am scheduled to have the new switch (which I assume includes a whole new LH multifunction switch & cable) installed Saturday and they say it shouldn't take more than two hours. Has anyone had this multifunction switch & cable replaced, did it take more than a couple hours, and finally did it correct the cancel switch malfunction?
Please note I have not and do not know the reality of the labor involved to do this. However two things...
- BRP has set the amount of time they will allow the dealers to charge for any Warranty Repair. This "May" be where the quote is coming from.
- If they have to remove the Handlebar, or it is anything like that. OMG... 2 hours is an understatement. Basically all the front panels most of the side panels and top Tupperware has to come off. Then the start removing the head and so on, just to get to the wiring plug for replacement, sliding through holes, and or just simply access to the "Stuff"
Anyway, I hop that helps.

You don't have to remove the handlebars to change out the switch housing and two hours sounds about right to me.

I don't know if this switch you are getting is newer than the one on my 2011 RTS, but the one on my bike sucks. My friends just laugh and ask if I know where I am going. It is a real PITA.

All of my switches were replaced last year (both sides plus the screen...had other problems too) and all was fine until the ride to Spyderfest. The turn signal problem as you described reared its ugly headd again!

This is the same issue I have with my 2011 RT Limited. So nothing was changed from the 2010 model. Or if they did there wasn't any improvement. Too bad you couldn't just flip the switch in the same direction a second time to cancel. Sure would be much simpler. This is the way my HD Ultra Classic was. BRP could probably do this with a modification to the software.

My left switch will not work to turn on the blinker. Pressing it in will turn it on. The dealership said mine is the second one with this problem. A new one is on order.

My 2011 RTS does the same thing. When I go to turn it off, it usually turns on the other side.
It's Super annoying......
