Guest ERIC Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 has anybody had problem with indicator switch - on my NC700XAC the indicator switch has started jamming in middle when trying to indicate left. it will switch to right but not left -then after fiddling about it works again ,but this is obviously bad when on the move if you suddenly can't indicate to turn left. bike has only done 3400 miles 2013 reg.

Guest Murcuseo Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 There may be some crap stuck in the housing. If you're confident enough, take it apart and clean it. Link to post
Guest Southerner Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The bike is still under warranty - take it to a dealer and let them sort it properly. Link to post
Tex 36,817 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Mine sometimes sticks (or jams) when trying to indicate right. Very 'un' Honda like! Link to post
Guest ERIC Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 seemed to right itself but sprayed silicone through slot anyway - seems absolutely normal now (fingers crossed) does seem unlike Honda - never had any trouble with switchgear on all the other bikes I have had . Usually spray WD40 into switch housings. Link to post
Guest ERIC Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Indicator (turn signal) switch jammed again when I was trying to indicate left. push to right (when it is safe) will eventually free - then seems perfectly ok. until the next time! Link to post

Get it back to the dealer, show them what's happening (sods law being that it won't go wrong when you're there) and get them to sort it under warranty if necessary. Link to post
Guest Peterpoddy Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 There may be some crap stuck in the housing. If you're confident enough, take it apart and clean it. Yep, they're not hard to take apart if you're mechanically minded. Clean the contacts with emery cloth and add a little grease to keep it all smooth and bobs yer uncle. Rear brake light switches can go this way too. Link to post
Guest Peterpoddy Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Usually spray WD40 into switch housings. Not a particularly good idea. Sure it'll help in the short term but WD40 is more of a solvent thana lubriacant and it'll flush any real lube out. Not something I'd do, personally. Link to post
Guest robson Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 happened to me as well in left possition, and I figured out it's the way I press that switch with my thumb. The switch is OK, just need to press more from right to left without pressing towards the steering bar. Link to post
