Turn signal cancellation?

[Tigadee]

My old YX600 Radian also had self-canceling and they are more a nuisance than a help, for example, when lane-splitting and you want the signal to remain on. (But eventually I just started to lane-split without using the signal light anyway because it may actually work against me in giving out the wrong message to the other road users.)

Or sitting at a traffic light waiting to turn and the wait is longer than the signal light stays on, then it goes off by itself and that could send out the wrong message to other road users of your intentions...

Here's some advice to help you.

If you leave your indicator on, you die.

(yes it's a worst case scenario)

You usually remember to save your own life. I know I usually do.

Get in the habit, it's not rocket science.

I just keep my thumb on the button while it's working and leave it there until I cancel it.

Buy a 37 year old two stroke roadbike, ahaha.
Blew my mind, when they shut themselves off, I've ridden heaps of other bikes, but none shut themselves off.
Dunno how they did, but they did, haha.
Don't understand why back then they had it, and now they don't..
I wonder why?

Probably something to do with US liability laws. If auto-cancel indicators on motorbikes can't work with 100% effectiveness then the manufacturers / import agents would be in court incurring massive legal bills after every RTA ...

... there is one left hand exit from HW75 I use constantly...my self cancelling gizmos do not and have never worked there...it is odd, as there is a definite lean, turn and then a straightening of the machine...it annoys the shit out of me...
