    Recently ran over half a 12mm wrench which put a nice hole through n through, scratching my rim. Have just replaced the tyre and went for a cruise to wear it in and my partner noticed the hazards flashing (I don’t even know how to turn them on haha) from what I’m googling it says possible speed sensor issue. Does anyone have a manual they could send pics of on that section? Please and thank you

    Is it still doing it after being switched on and off?
    On the bigger bikes you turn the hazards on by holding both indicator switches in at the same time, maybe try that?

    Yeah it’s still doing it after being switched off and on. It’s a slow blink, With maybe a full min or so between flashes. It’s not a quick blinking as if the hazards are on.

    I've not had anything to do with your model so I'm a bit in the dark, this is just a few random thoughts that might cause weird electronic behaviour.
    Have you checked your battery connections and battery condition? 
    Does it have a smart siren? The battery in that could be low.
    Fob battery, do they have a fob? I'm assuming so.
    Is there an common indicator switch that you push either way for direction? Is so check it and it's wiring out.
    Charge rate, is the alternator over charging?
    Bad earth to frame, that can cause wild stuff to happen.
    Does your model bike have fault codes? If so maybe it's thrown one to help track it down.
    Sorry, no real answer, hope you find it.

    Thanks for the ideas to chase up. It’s just odd it only started after a tyre change. Yeah there is a fob and the indicator switch is a duel and on the left with a cancel button. Which I assume you also hold down for hazards. But I’ve tried that and nothing happens. No siren but the indicators do flash when you move the bike without the acc on.

    Was it a rear tyre? If so is there any chance the wiring under the rear guard could of been damaged in any way, squished or the like? Clutching at straws here 😁

    No squishing. Cheers for your advice
