A question from my son

[jellywrestler]

I'm pleased to announce that none of my bikes have them.

i was blown off my beemer late one night on the rimutakas on a real tight corner, was shitting myself that a car would come around the corner and run me over, whacked the hazard lights on and i don't think i've ever been so relieved

Suzuki DR 250x Djebel has a hazard light switch.

[blonky]

03 R6 - yes, separate button above indicators
08 Daytona - nope

[Paul in NZ]

1980 Moto Guzzi yes.... 2005 Triumph - have not found em yet

[testastretta]

2017 Ducati XDiavel, yes, dedicated switch
2015 Ducati Scrambler, yes, hold indicator switch left for 3 seconds.

Prior to 2010, the R1200RT had switches for the indicators on both bars. Left for turning left, right for turning right. It seems sensible.

There was a separate switch for cancelling the indicators.

If you pressed both indicator switches at the same time the hazards came on. And they were cancelled by the indicator cancel switch. It was really intuitive, and once you got used to it, a breeze to use.

In 2010 they went to the world standard. My 2013 RT has the world standard (both indicator switches on the the left bar, and press to cancel).

There is a separate button to activate hazards, on and off. It's red, which seems to be the world standard colour.

nah it's shite, i've a few bikes and jump on my R1100S and go into autopilot mode too often, it would be better conventional like they are now.

2006 ZX1400 has them also

The first dual switch one I had was an R1150GS. Cool bike. I had ridden a few company K100s and R1150RTs prior, so the indicators were intuitive.

When I got my 2009 RT, it was all good. The first few weeks I had my R1200RT 2014 I was totally screwed, having to go back to the world standard.

I rode a Harley Street Glide recently. It took me a while to get used to the HD system. The self cancel is better then the BMW self cancel, easier to adapt to. But I still dont trust self cancels.

Is that because you're from a time before electricity?

[MarkH]

My DR650 doesn't have this but my ST1300 does. The Burgman 400 I had also had a hazard switch.

'08 CBR600 and '13 CBR1000 has them
