indicators are whack

[gazman]

Slight problem . . . .indicators have stopped working, hit the right turn all 4 lights flash same for left and the turn cancel switch. Hazards work. had a spare flasher unit and BMU swapped them over , No change . search Motobrick, check fuses all good but no power either side of  #7. So is my next move pull the starter and clean or will backspin suffice . My understanding of electrics is limited give me spanners any day. Any suggestions gratefully received

Remove and clean or replace the starter brushes it is quite common with K series beemers. Its all part of the earthing of these bikes.

Well backspin didn't work. So it was out with the starter PITA brush's aint to bad but commutator was covered in black gunk, cleaned it up with some emery and contact cleaner. Now just gotta put it back together, short prayer to the motogods an see how we go

God's weren't listening. Back to square one. :dunno

What happens when you disconnect the hazard switch?

[gazman]

No change, same symptoms. I've cleaned all the earths, checked all the plugs. Tomorrow I'll strip an clean the thumb controls, don't think their the problem but starting to grasp at straws  :dunno

If you still have no power at fuse #7, it would be a good idea to check the load shedding relay and its
connections.
You could also try to swap as it's 4 more identical relays in the relay box, LSR is one of the two furthest
to the right side.

Thank you all  :clap: Faulty load shed relay was the culprit. And as a bonus I've done some connection, earth, and starter maintenance.  :riding:
