FLASHER SYSTEM
TEST
Description
The self-cancelling flasher system turns off the
turn signal after a period of time or distance
involved in turning or changing lanes. Generally,
the signal will cancel after either 10 seconds,
or 150 meters (490 feet), whichever is greater.
A t very low speed, the function is determined
by distance; at high speed, especially when
changing speeds the cancelling determination is a
combination of both times and distance. The
determination is a
only operates when the motorcycle is moving;
thus the signal will not self-cancel while you are
stopped at an intersection.
