Has any one experience the turn signals canceling prematurely? I'm having the left turn signal cancel within 8 blinks and the right turn is taking 11 blinks. Is this normal for Victory?
Would appreciate any feed back.

I havn't yet had a chance to ride mine yet so I havn't experienced using the turn signals, but when reading the "Rider's Manual" regarding the turn signals I noticed what appears to be a pretty complex self-cancel program. Basically the signals have a 15 mph break point built in, activated above which the signals cancel after a preset distance and below which they cancel when 15mph is reached, unless you put them on above 15 then slow to 15, then they cancel at 15 again, or something like that. If I sound a bit confused about it, it's because I am. I was thinking that it would sort itself out once I actually (Come on Spring!) start riding the beast, and have been trust- ing that the engineers who designed the signals that way did so for good and practical reasons. That being said, I hope that's all the problem is with your's and it's not some malfunction in the signals or the flasher module. Perhaps someone who knows more can help us both out.

If you hold the turn signal for the first few "blinks" it cancels has soon has you release it. It's a lane change "feature".
Be sure to just bump it over if you want the self cancel to work has engineered. Mine has been fine.
(much better then the "self-cancel" on my old V-Star)
Plus I get both a right and a left indicator on the dash - how cool is that!
