Title: I just noticed something new about my monster...
Post by: DirtyDuc on April 24, 2009, 06:33:33 PM
So, i went to start up my bike tonight.  So, kick stand up, inignition turned to an and...  LOUD buzzing sound!  It startled me!  I turned the key to off.  Back to on, BUZZZZZZ!!!  Hmmm.  ??? So I check this, poke there, hit blinker clear button, buss goes off!  Okay....  Turn left blinker on, blink, blink, blink.  Clear.  Turn right blinker on BUZZZZZZ.

It seems that I had left my right turn signal on when I parked it and I have a blinker out. Lol, is that all it was? [cheeky]  The sound startled me.  I had never heard it before because my arrow high pipes are loud and I never mess with the blinker when the bike's off...

Not to mention the OEM blinkers are butt ugly, but I also tend to replace all my lights with LEDs...
Brighter, saver , dont burn out in the middle of the evening ride.  [thumbsup]

Are you sure you weren't just hearing the fuel pump?  When you cycle the switch it will buzz as it primes the FI system but if you cycle it too fast sometimes it will skip a prime.

Nope.  Positive it was a buzzer telling me my blinker was out.  And, it was loud.  Turn on right blinker buzzzzzz, turn off right blinker... silence.  Turn on teft blinker... (insert blinker sound).  Replaced bulp.  Both now make blinker sound, no buzzzzz.

Not a big deal.  Just thought it was funny cause the buzzing really startled me at first...
