Turn Signals - Weird Issue

[ryguy85]

77 CB 750F

I replaced the old turn signals with some updated smaller ones and now I have an odd issue. The left turn signal works fine, but the right one is weird now. When you move the switch for the right signal, the indicator light next to the speedo doesn't come on and the turn signal comes on and stays on, no flashing. The left side works fine, no issues. I've switched the lights from left to right and the issue is definitely just on the right side. The relay doesn't even tick when you use the right indicator.

Any thoughts??

Maybe you tugged the connection in the headlight bucket. Is the back bulb good? Mine will come on but not blink of one of the bulbs is out.

Could be the switch, I know I had problems with the stock switch for my headlight not making propper contact.

Weird that the relay doesn't do anything at all, maybe the relay is bad? Are you running LED's for turn signals now? Maybe try switching the relay out to one that is LED compatable, I picked mine up from Napa, works great.

Not LED's. I could try taking the switch apart, didn't think of that one. Relay works when you use the left turn signals, can hear it and see it.

Bulbs are good. I even switched the turn signals around. Connected the front left and right rear with no problem, worked fine. So the problem is definitely isolated to the front right turn signal or the switch

The wire coming from the flasher up to the front of the motorcycle connects to a grey wire in the left switch housing, which then can connect with a blue or orange wire with the selector switch . Left or right.

Just bought a CB750 Custom today, and I've got the same problem.

Good news. I picked up a new relay from Dime City Cycles and it fixed the problem! They even flash faster now, closer to where they should be.
