RT Turn Signal Switch Replacement

[fishcraz]

Make that another 2011 RT-Limited with the turn switch issue....push to cancel and it turns on the other signal. Just put a 3 postion flip switch, push right it turns on the right signal, push back to center all off, and to the left left signal on. Simple 3 position switch...forget all this fance stuff...make it functional....please!

And I know it is suppose to self cancel...but sometimes the turn is not sharp enough to engage the automatic cancel when you straighten the handle bars back out. And then you look like a clown trying to get the signals off....not to mention it is confusing to other drivers and a danger.

Add another to the list. Mine is an RTS 2010 Limited. I keep thinking it's my fingers that aren't pushing properly, but now that I see more and more are having this problem, I know it's not me. I'm calling my dealer today and tell them about Carlo's statement.
:gaah:

Actually only a two position switch would be necessary. Push left for left signal. Push left again to cancel. Same for right. They could probably keep the existing switch and only have to modify the software.

My RT the switch catches on the left. If you push on it when it's that way it jumps to the right blinker, hit it again and it goes to the left. I have to put it in the center than cancel it. It seems to be a problem child for many people. Time will tell with BRP. :dontknow:

Holding the switch down for a second or so seems to help...but it is not foolproof. The signal cancels on switch release.

Thanks Scotty that seems to be working for me. I've had trouble with the canceling function since the beginning but holding the switch down for a second seems to be much more effective.

same problem; 2010 RTS

Open Request To BRP

BRP Representatives:

Please improve the turn signal switch on previous and existing models of RTs. There needs to be better "feedback" on activation and canceling the turn signal.

I agree with others that canceling the turn signal often leads to activation of the opposite signal and confusing ryders and drivers behind us (safety issue).

Thanks,

David

i really feel better thought i was too much a newbe that i was hitting it wrong
and ya 2011 rts same trouble

There is obviously something c&n about the whole switch block.
As well as the indicator switch being a dud, my down switch in the mode block refuses to cooperate most of the time.
It is extremely difficult to reset my trip meter (ie delete/erase) although it doesn't seem to be a problem if i want to mute the radio.....go figure!!!??
It's just a little thing but it irritates people no end.
Trying to save a buck in the manufacturing business usually ends up costing ten times more in the long run, recall, replacement, labor, etc
You'd think they would have worked that out by now.
cheers

The reset issue on the trip meter appears to be a programming issue. Hit the "Down" twice to zero, if you have problems. Both my RTs have required this.

Thanks Scotty,
Doesn't seem to matter what problem you have with the world there is ALWAYS a work around....

Since I just installed a Stebel, I m always scaring myself(and others) trying to cancel the turnsignal!:yikes:So when I hear the horn, I know my signal is still not canceled.

not to mention the smooth move of attempting to accelerate with the cruise,finger slipping off and mistakenly hitting the killswitch doing 70 mph..:clap:

I guess I should go back to Spyder ryding school.

B.O.T..our RT's switch/canceler works fine so far.

Been there, done both. I hope you feel better knowing you are not alone.

Sorry for the input into the RT ShopTalk, but why BRP did not take the old and prove fully functional RS turn signal switch and install-it on the RT? :dontknow:opcorn:

 

[fishcraz]

So in riding this weekend I tried pushing and holding the turn signal switch to cancel. It seems to work much better by holding it in for 1 or 2 seconds. Then as stated prior, on release it cancels. But there is a bug, are you listening BRP...you should be, if you have turned on your right signal, when you push/hold the switch in to cancel , the left signal will come on till you release it. But at least everyhting is off at this point and no more back and forth trying to get it to cancel. Now if BRP is listening, this is repeatiable everytime, so therefore should be very easy to fix...seems like a program bug. BRP...go get on one of your bikes, turn the right signal on, and then press and hold the button to cancel and watch the left turn signal come on. Please fix this......

Mine too!!!!!

Hopefully there will be a recall on this. I did notice at the dealer that the RS has a different kind of switch that clicks when you press to cancel.

turn signals

My turn signals work on complete turns, they go off auto like they should.

When i have to cancel they cancel if i push straight in, and i mean straight in. A little bit off sends the opposite signal on. So, it works, but it shouldnt be that hard to do. JM 2C

:agree: Same for me on my 2011 RT Limited.

 

[Rando]

Ditto, and that is with the new one installed.
