Guest Aldo Overend Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I just bought an nc 750x Sometimes my indicator switch doesn't move left or right easily. Sprayed some silicone spray but did not improve much. It's kind of dangerous when you wish to go left or right abrubtly and the switch fails to move. Is it a bad switch design or is mine faulty?? Anyone had similar problems please?? Link to post
embee 7,288 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 It won't move left or right when it is pushed in. Is yours sticking in (as when you push it in to cancel the indicator)? It should spring in/out freely with a slight click when it is cancelling. Link to post
elbee 754 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Yes, I find this. I have to remember to push/pull close to the base as the natural thumb angle can result in pressing the switch in a bit which locks it. Never had the problem on other bikes so I'd say design fault. Link to post
jeremyr62 2,578 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I am a new NC owner and I have the same issue so I would say it's a poor design. Link to post
DCTPaul 629 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 The issue i have with the NC, and with the SH... On a Honda the horn switch is above the indicators... On a Yamaha the horn switch is below the indicators... I'm often giving a beep when going for the indicators... 1 Link to post
Graham 3,177 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Same issue with the position of the switches between the RT vs NC. Keeps you alert! Edited December 23, 2019 by Graham Link to post
SteveThackery 3,090 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Yep, I'm almost certain you are pushing the switch in just slightly, which will stop it moving sideways. Poor design. 1 Link to post
motorbykcourier 293 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I regularly spray all my switches with GT85 it has PTFE in it. I can be quite generous with the spray - moving all switches back and forth or up and down. Usually have some kitchen roll to catch excess and overspray - but you'd be surprised at how much dirt gets flushed out While occasionally the indicators might not be so smooth, I find the headlight high beam and flash that sticks the most 2 Link to post
