Indicators

[Doofus]

I'm pretty sure Goldwings will, but do new bikes generally have self-cancelling indicators?

BMW’s have done for ages. Don’t think most Japanese stuff does. I’ve certainly never ridden
a Japanese bike with self cancelling indicators.

New triumphs have them.

I can take or leave them myself. It certainly wouldn’t affect my buying decision. The current triumph switchgear isn’t very nice, feels like pushing buttons on a cheap calculator. Don’t know if that kind of pcb goes hand in hand with self cancelling.

My 1981 XJ650 had them.
Worked a treat as well 😎

My 2014 Triumph Explorer has them, but as my other bikes don’t (all older stuff) then it’s part of my turning routine to switch them off anyway.
I’ve used it occasionally, once to see if it worked and a couple of times i’ve glanced down after things like long motorway slip roads to see they’ve cancelled themselves before I did.

It’s not something I’d search out when looking for a bike anyway.

My ‘87 harley has them , if i stop pressing the button they stop flashing .

Have tried 2016 Yamaha XSR900 and 2016 Honda CB650F and they don’t have them...

[DirtyHarley]

Harleys have had them fitted as standard for quite a long time now.

Thank you, all

My 1989 FZR1000 had them, surprised your 'ace didn't, I think they should be fitted to all bikes as standard personally as I'm forever leaving them on.

That was my first thought as well.

I really don’t see why they fell out of favour as they worked fine on my bike.

I think my 1980’s gs1000 had them as well .

[BonzoG]

My last and current GS both had them, nothing particularly clever though they just turn off after about 200 yards. Nothing related to lean angle or actually turning the bike.

Probably saves a few grams.

The new (well from 2014 I think) VFR800 has them
