When I signal for a turn in either direction, they flash 3 times and shut off. I have to do that several times to give anyone reasonable intention. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to correct it?

What speed were you doing? On my RT, if I am in excess of 100 km an hour, those are the signals to indicate lane change i.e. shorter duration. Under 100 km an hour the flash longer. Do use a longer flash at higher speeds I double hit the turn signal which lengthens durationWhen I signal for a turn in either direction, they flash 3 times and shut off.

IF ALL ELSE FAIL, READ THE INSTRUCTIONSWhen I signal for a turn in either direction, they flash 3 times and shut off. I have to do that several times to give anyone reasonable intention. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to correct it?
Read the Owners Manual(Answer Book), page 37.This guy is asking for help. Let’s try to offer aid without attitude. We all have questions.
I took his post to mean that he's sitting at a light wanting to turn. He hits the signal, it flashes three times then turns off. If that's the case, then he clearly has a problem. If, on the other hand, he's moving and the distance or speed parameters are met, then there's his answer.
Yes, but also speed related...When you tap the turn signal button real quick, either to the left or the right, it only flashes three times. It is for lane changing. The new Triumph Rocket does the same thing. If you hold the button slightly longer, the indicators flash like normal - as mentioned in an earlier post above. The Triumph also considers elapsed time and lean-angle correction.
Have you tried the Goldwing, turn signals yet?When you tap the turn signal button real quick, either to the left or the right, it only flashes three times. It is for lane changing.

My Goldwing is a 2014 model, European. It has auto-cancelling turn indicators but not with that 'quick tap' functionality.Have you tried the Goldwing, turn signals yet?
The question was for the man who failed to read the instructions.My Goldwing is a 2014 model, European. It has auto-cancelling turn indicators but not with that 'quick tap' functionality.
And yes, I believe I have tried them over the course of the last seven years or so.
Bad rear wheel sensor? It did not throw a ABS fault or an ASC fault? Both are controlled by comparing front and rear wheel rotational velocities.I got the problem fixed. Turns out I had a bad rear wheel sensor so the bike didn't know how fast or if the rear wheel was turning. Works great now.
Thanks for sharing the problem and the result. Worth knowing and perhaps not mentioned in the handbook.I got the problem fixed. Turns out I had a bad rear wheel sensor so the bike didn't know how fast or if the rear wheel was turning. Works great now.
As he also admitted that bike was indicating a fault code for the faulty rear wheel speed sensor, ABS or ASC fault indication. The input from these sensor control the flashing of the signal lights. The bikes diagnostic system was indeed indicating the problem and it is covered in the Riders Manual page 27.This guy is asking for help. Let’s try to offer aid without attitude.
