my first spyder( may explain it) and one of the little miscues that i have is the turn signal cancelling manually like when lane changing. i would would of liked to have had the button larger and more user friendlier especially when trying to cancel after lane change. have not tried with glove on but think may be more of an issue. tendency to bounce from one side to the other before hitting sweet spot to cancel. rode mostly harleys and signal switch was better in that instance.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
is it just me

No it's not just you 
The center-off of the turn signal switch can be very touchy. With my 2014 ST I have no problem canceling. With my new 2019 F3S it's very easy to accidentally flip from left to right instead of off. My wife's 2013 RT is just like pressing an over-ripe prune!

It is touchy. The key to cancel is be careful to not push the button sideways but in only. Left and right to turn signal on, straight in to turn off. The signal will automatically cancel after about 30 seconds, a long time at 60 mph! :thumbup:

Takes some riding time to retrain your fingers to find the new switch locations. Before I bought the Spyder, I had been riding Harleys for about 30 years. They have one turn signal switch on each side. Took a couple thousand miles of hunting the new turn signal switch location before it became automatic again. I started finding the turn signal switch about the same time I quit reaching for the clutch and front brake lever.

I feel the same myself, my ex's 2013 RT was just as bad to turn off the signal's and my 2017 RT is the same a poor design in my opinion.

That is what I did too...the extra turn signal lights let me know if they did not cancel. No I can play the game without Linda telling me they are still on. :roflblack:

Guess I learned something new today. I did not know that the turn signal would time out as some stated above. Now I got to give that feature a try, when no one is watching.

Make sure you are moving when you try to let it time out. The timer is suspended when stopped. This allows the signals to keep flashing when stopped at a red light.
