Was wondering if anyone new how the indicator timer worked, does it come from the speedo on a RK 2000 model as I would like to remove it as it doesn't stay on for long?
You have to get to the turning at a shorter distance than normal to make the flasher work for the manouvere!

 

the turn signal or indicator is controlled by the TSM ( turn signal module) or TSSM ( Turn Signal Security Module if equipped).

commonly the speedo gives road speed measurements to the TSM/ TSSM, which will sense when a turn is entered and compleated and cancel

the speedo sensor may be dirty, remove from top of tranny ( it is held in place with an allen head screw, it does not screw in - the N switch does)
and wipe off any filings with a rag.

the TSM also requires stock spec lamps- or a "load equalizer" such as custom dynamics or badlands manufacture to use leds or low wattage lamps



if you really wanted, you could rewire to the earlier system which used a "flasher"-
you'd need to change the switches to 80's evo style which will stay depressed until cancelled.

wiring would be + to flasher which Y's to the switches.
each switch is wired to the lamps front and rear for the corresponding side, and the lamps ground will compleat the circuit.
a thermo/electric flasher may be used, but an electronic type is betterer

Great info, thanks.

 

If you hold the button down on the turn signal, the "timer" doesn't start until you release it. That way you can extend the flashing until you're actually into the turn.

 

Good thinking that, will try it next time out!
