Turn signals work intermitantly. Thought it was the switch but works fine when ignition on and motor not running. Also works with motor running on stand. Worse at night when cooler. Could it be flasher? Switch seems faulty when riding as when doesn't work can get it to sometimes work by repeatedly on/off. Wonder about vibration causing problem. Switch seems not to click when not working. Suggestions for trouble shooting? Are these parts available in auto stores? Thanks!

Sounds to be it is just a contact problem and something is loose Check the wiring by the flasher and or switch they may be touching or just loose and the vibrations cause a no contact situation.

Blinkers are powered by the battery instead of the stator like most headlights are . Undo the switch and ether touch the wires together or use a short wire to be a jumper to bypass the switch . More than likely is just a loose connection as it is very common for wires along with nuts and bolts to get loose . Switches can wear out or go bad too . If it still has issues when you bypass the switch it may be the blinker relay . Electrical issues first double check everything is connected good then troubleshot if problem still occurs .

Problem solved!
Black ground wire, probably a spare next to leads from turn signal switch and below the fork was a red dc wire not connected. Must have been dc current induced. Red wire was connected to grey wire to a small bulb in the headlight reflector which lights when ignition is on. No longer have a problem. Thanks for suggestions.

Anybody know this gentleman?? My Same exact Scoot is doing hte same exact thing!!..  I read his post and looked for what he found..and I don't find that. My signals work great with just the key on..but as soon as I start the engine..they stop flashing. Flasher relay from another does the same thing..so I know that is good. Any clues?  |

Flashers run off the battery..battery is new and test out at 13.6 volts. With key on they work fine..but as soon as I fire up the engine they stop. R/R and flasher relay from my new parts bin do the same. Any clues or ideas? Thanks in advance...

What does your battery test out with the motor running? It sounds like there is a lot of draw when the motor is running and not enough to power the parts that need at least 12v.
