Indicator delay
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
