Turn signal problem.
08/04/10 at 17:20:09
 
Today I noticed that my left front turn signal remains lit at all times like a running light. It still flashes to indicate a turn, but then it stays lit. Anyone ever have this happen? Any ideas what's going on?

...heh, okay jokes on me. No running lights. Anyway I pulled the bulbs (stock) and there is only one filiment, nothing burnt out, so I cleaned the contacts and it stays out now unless signaling a turn.

It must depend on the year. My '07 has running lights in front and just turn signals in back.

As Verslagen faces the bike, he was correct the first time. Since he has to face the bike to fix it that is okay.

Hmm, I will get a couple of double filiment lamps and see if they will work (05 model.) Can you buy these at an auto supply or do you have to go to a stealership?

Check the bulbs and sockets too.
I think the dual filament bulbs have offset retaining pins
the single filament bulbs have even retaining pins.
look for 1156 & 1157 one or the other.
