• 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.

Malfunction of the stock direction indicator lights blinking fast - any ideas/fixes?

Hi guys,

Just asking if you can give me an idea about what is going on with my stock direction indicators.

Before I start, no modification has been done beyond installing a USB power connection for my phone, but it was done more than one year ago, well before the problem with the direction indicators started.

My bike is a 2023 F3 S and the problem has been happening for about a couple of months - the direction lights do not light when I push the direction switch, but ...

- When I push the switch, the arrow in the display blinks, first at usual speed, and few seconds later, it starts to blink faster.
- The problem is the same no matter if I push the right switch, the left switch, or the Hazard warning switch.
- Randomly, the lights work will right for a few seconds at normal speed, maybe five or ten, then the display arrows blinks fast again.

I have opened the right handlebar cluster to reach the warning button, and the left one for the direction switch. Everything looks good.

The battery is about six months old and the bike is usually connected to a battery tender if it is not going to be used for more than a couple of weeks.

I would like to think that the problem is a connector, but which one affects the four lights and where can I find it?


Thanks in advance for your help.
