    Hey guys. I just been playin with the bike in the garage and noticed  when i turn either side of the indicators (only got rear ones ) on, they both come on and dont flash. They just stay on, until i press indicator button again and they both go off. Now im tippin this may confuse poor folk following me lol. I have had a look at the wiring and come up with fuck all. Any hints on what to look for ? bad earth ? Cheers

    you have insufficient current draw, as you only have rear indicators
    either fit front, or get an equaliser

    I assume self cancelling
    did you change a bulb?
    are they the original factory rear?
    do you already have an equaliser that was earthed to the battery(that you did not know about), and you accidentally left the wire off?

    when the phone rings, do you hear a car horn toot soon after? Do you ever think it might not be a coincidence?

    Not self cancelling. have to press button again to cancel. They are after market lights and micro switches. Dont remember a wire i left off but i better just check. I hate electrics on bikes lol
