yip ok so here is my next story, grew up in the motorcycle business, when we were kids, one year you learn to ride a bicycle without trainers, the next summer you got your first dirt bike, but when I went to college and then got married, had kids, got divorced and all that stuff that happens to people, I was away from it for 20 years, now all but one of the kids is grown and gone, and the one thats left is learning to love riding.  So I am relearning all of it all over again.  I spent the best 250 bucks of my life and took a rider safety class, then bought a bike.  so now I been back at it for just over 2 years and I am such a silly creature of habit that I am slowly teaching myself new habits.  when riding dirt bikes in the uhhhhh late 70's we were taught that you use mostly back brakes unless on a hill pointing up. Now they teach to use both brakes equally, that was new.  there were several other things.

so what is it that triggers the turn signals to auto cancel? turning the wheel? levelling the bike back out? or what?

 Thats a good way to get killed on a bike. The on coming cage driver sees your signal light and figures you are turnig and pulls out in front of you.
To answer your question yes, you have an auto cancelling turn signal. That being said, I always push the button anyway, it is a good habit to get into.

I do believe that is a feature on all drifters. I do have them on my 99 1500.

ok, so I am notorious for leavinng my turn signals blinking after a turn, my kids call it the "idiot light" but in my car I forget to use them a lot, I tell the hubby I am low on turn signal fluid haha,

but in all seriousness, I have noticed I have been checking my lights after a turn, and they are almost always turned off, does my 03  800 have some sort of auto cancelling thingie for my turn signals????
