Default Indicator problem

Indicators work fine until the motor is started. The indicators come on but will not flash with motor running.


Anyone with any ideas?

Which Wales are you in old chap?!

Interesting problem. My first guess is a poor or loose connection at the flasher unit. Remove clean and tighten if necessary.

North Wales near Caernarfon.


I'll try the connections again but already done that.

I have a 2014 iron and my indicators worked intermittently for a little bit and eventually stopped working. Took it into the dealer and their tests showed a bad wire harness. They replaced it under warranty and has been good since. A possibility. After a good check of connections then start checking for chaffed wires. If it's a new bike and under warranty let the dealer deal with it.
