Self cancelling indicators

[Allistair]

I have just upgraded to an 06' FZ6S from my trusty Yam FJ600. I really miss the self cancelling indicators that were standard fare on the FJ.

Is there a mod for the FZ that will give me self cancelling ?

Cheers Allistair

dont know of one but it'd have to be a full aftermarket deal with tilt sensors and all.....seems like a lot of work for very little benefit

Off topic I know,but I don't think we got the FJ600 in Oz just the 1100 and 1200.Do you have any pics ?

It's probably this one, I think I've seen a couple running around here.

self cancelling? issit similar to cars after you finish your turn the signal will auto off?

My XS400 used to have self canceling indicators. The system was a simple timer (cap discharging) if I remember correctly, but used the coil leads to judge speed and thereby adjust the length of time they were on....worked fairly well in actual fact. I'm sure you could set up something. I'd paste up a pic of the wiring diagram but I sold the bike just recently and gave them the book too....lol.

There is another thread about installing a singal "buzzer" that makes extra noise when your signals are on to remind you. http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-mods/15407-common-alternating-source-turn-signals.html

Personally I don't see the need for either but to each their own. I't as simple as pushing a button that is an inch away with your thumb. Muscle memory. I find myself 'cancelling' my signals on sweeping turns at times, even though I didn't singal. It's just becomes habit. You also have a blinking light in front of you on your guages...what more do you need?

The photo that ANDZ put up is the one. Several Yammies of that era had self cancelling indicators. Cheers Alllistair
