I rode mine into work this afternoon, and sure enough the blinker was on when key on.  This was the right blinker this time, but I've never checked before.  I think that's really weird that all MANY of these bikes do that...

I should rephrase that statement

That's strange, because mine has never done this.

lol ok I noticed that to always the left side and only when a fresh start or after sitting for a bit. I asked around and tried to find the reason.....ok was finally told it was a safety thing, how or why was never explained to me, so not sure. Goggle was no help here either nor was a dealer so something to look into.......

It does cancel when I press the button. It is always left side. I made sure I am not hitting the button before shutting it down and made sure it was not blinking.
If I turn ignition ON in 30-60 seconds after the motor was stopped - it does not blink. If it sits for 2-3 minutes or longer - it does blink.
That`s weird - it did not happen before... Well, at least I am not the only one ))

It happens with mine too. If I remember it right I read somewhere it is a general Vulcan issue, so not related to Drifters only. And no cause and thus solution found.

It happens with mine too.  First noticed it after I changed out all four turn signals.

Ever since I've had my 800, many times (but not always) when I turn my key on, I also have a turn signal on.  I'm not sure if it's always the same side or not.  It does cancel like it should when punched.  I thought maybe I was somehow accidentally bumping the switch when dismounting, but A couple times I made absolutely sure it was off before I turned off the key, then it was on anyway.  So I finally gave up trying to figure it out.  Weird, but has never caused any further problems. ???

Does it cancel when you press the button in?

Hi all,
I have a 99 Drifter 1500 and every time I turn ignition ON, left turn signal is blinking. That did not happen before. I always turn handlebars to the left when parked - not sure if that could affect it somehow.
Any ideas?
