i bought this bike at a junk yard and have got it running well but the turn signals do not work. when i turn the switch both indicators on the dash light up but not the signals. i bought a new flasher and the indicators on the dash flash all the time like a warning signal on a car. can't see anything wrong with the wiring.
this is on an 1982 kawasaki kz 1000 csr

Re: turn signal problem on kawasaki
If the wiring is realllllly good then the switch is suspect. How difficult is it to remove and clean?

Re: turn signal problem on kawasaki
Ok, you installed a new flasher, and is it both indicators flashing all the time now, right?
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Re: turn signal problem on kawasaki
the wiring is good and the switch is good. i looked at the book and it said that if any one light in the system is bad then the whole system will not work properly so i am going to systematically replace the lights until i see if that is the problem. thanks for your help
