Does anyone know if the length of time the turn signal stays on can be reprogrammed to stay on longer? 20 seconds is sometimes too short.

 

You do know that they're supposed to stay on until you complete the turn then automatically shut off, right?

 

If you're driving straight and don't turn quickly enough, it will shut off after 20 blinks.

 

I have not heard of anyone changing the setting. I thought that there were different criteria. If you are stopped, they will blink for every, if you are coming to a stop, it doesn't count the 20. If you are riding and do not turn after 20 blinks, they turn off. I am not sure if this is true or not, just what I think I have read and observed on mine......

 

I'm pretty sure it will stay on longer than 20 seconds if you're sitting still, like at a red light, but very rarely would you need longer that 20 seconds while moving. I don't think there is a way to change that.

 

I am thinking if you are in a Straight line with your blinker on for 20 seconds you are signaling way too soon....

I am always nervous of the person with a blinker on that long.... When are they going to turn, where are they going??!!

If its shutting off while sitting at a stop light/sign there is definitely a problem in the system.

Mine will stay on indefinitely if I am not moving.

 

TURN SIGNAL FUNCTIONS
• Manual turn signal control: Manual activation/deactivation
of left and right turn signal flashing sequences.
• Automatic turn signal cancellation: Automatic cancellation
of left and right turn signal flashing sequences based
on either vehicle speed, vehicle acceleration or turn completion.
• Hazard warning 4-way flashers: Four-way left and right
turn signal flashing capability.
• Turn signal lamp diagnostics: Self-diagnostics for short
circuit and open lamp conditions on both left and right turn
signal systems. See 3.9 CHECKING FOR DIAGNOSTIC
TROUBLE CODES.
NOTE
The turn signals cannot be activated or deactivated when the
Ignition Switch is in the ACC position. The turn signals can
only be activated or deactivated with the Ignition Switch in the
IGNITION position.
MANUAL CANCELLATION
To stop the turn signals from flashing, briefly depress the turn
signal switch a second time.
To switch turn direction signals, depress the switch for the
opposite turn signal. The first signal is cancelled and the
opposite side begins flashing.
AUTOMATIC CANCELLATION
Press the left or right turn switch to activate automatic turn
signal cancellation. There is no need to hold the turn switch in
when approaching the turn. The TSM/HFSM will not cancel
the signal before the turn is actually completed.
• When the directional switch is released, the system starts
a 20 count. As long as the vehicle is traveling above 7
MPH (11.3 km/h) the directional will always cancel after
20 flashes if the system does not recognize any other
input.
• If the vehicle speed drops to 7 MPH (11.3 km/h) or less,
including stopped, the directionals will continue to flash.
Counting will resume when vehicle speed reaches 8
MPH (12.9 km/h) and will automatically cancel when the
count total equals 20 as stated above.
• The turn signals will cancel within two seconds upon turn
completion. A sensor inside the TSM/HFSM cancels the
signal after the vehicle has been returned to an upright
position.
NOTE
The bank angle cancellation function has an automatic calibration
feature. Ride the motorcycle for 0.25 miles (0.4 km) at
steady speeds (upright) to calibrate the system. Performance
of bank angle function may not be optimal until this calibration
is performed. This self-calibration is performed automatically
every time the vehicle is started and ridden.
