there was a couple of threads a while ago about turn signals ,which i should have read, but can't read everything... anyways.. lately out of the blue my blinkers, in particular the right one,started going on with out me touching the rocker switch, had to rock it a couple of times for it to stop then it would start again ,right now the "off " position is the "on" position for the left side, the "cagers" are freaked out enough as it is, I want to fix this before I get "pushed out" off the asphalt.
New switch ? clean it out ? What do y'all think ? Thanks

I would check all the connections and wires for a short. Be sure to check the switch to harness connection behind the fairing as well as the individual connections for each blinker. Apply dielectric grease to all the connections and if that doesn't work, disassemble the switch and clean thoroughly. Is it BOTH right blinkers coming on randomly or just one?

I wish states that love deer would just put bounties on them.

Thanks for the feed back. I took the switch apart and I found that I had lead pellets; I poured ,after cutting a few shot gun shells, a while back, in the handle bar for " vibrations control "; lodged in the turn signal switch making contact between the wires, cleaned them out , now everything is back to normal. Weird how they got lodged in there .
