Can the self cancelling indicators be switched off in the bike system as mine do not seem to be self cancelling?

Same here, to be honest I probably haven't given them much of a chance. I wait for a bit and just cancel them myself.

May be an intermittent fault with the indicators? I've noticed mine flashing on and off? could be a related fault?

I'd have said they'd be more likely to cancel themselves on the front of a bus at that rate.
Over what period of time / didtance are they not self-cancelling?
If you sit at a junction waiting patiently for the lights to change, they will stay flashing forever.
If you drive down a motorway and activate then at the three hundred yard marker, you should find that they have self-cancelled before you reach the slip road. I would guess at about 250 / 280 yards.
It's probably detailed exactly in the owner's hand book.
I'd reject it, not fit for purpose!!!
boo.

there is a bird who walks up and down the street outside where I work at nights whos a bit like that ;-)
My Airhead does the same, looks like its a longstanding BMW problem!
The LC has "Self Cancelling" indicators - I never knew that
All this time I've been dealing with my flashing indicators the old fashioned way
You crazy fool....
Next you'll be telling us you still use the throttle and experiance to adapt to the road conditions!

I want to know if you can switch off the self-cancelling. Feckin PITA. If I want them off, I'll make the decision, thank you very much Herr Beemer!
Seriously anyone know, can this "feature" be defeaturised?

Extending the time before auto cancellation
What you can do whilst sitting on your toilet is hit the turn switch again (left or right) before it cancels and it will extend the time. Try it at a 300 yard marker, hit the button at the 100 yard marker and see for yourself
This does not work on previous models of the GS

yeah, sorry, I'm on a hexhead...just assuming things to be similar (my mistake)...I'll ask there.
Yes, very easily with the thumb on your left hand...that's the hand on the clutch side of the handlebar!
Press switch to one side start,... press switch in the centre to stop!
You may need to practice a bit for a start but eventually it becomes automatic!
Sorry... I just couldn't resist it!
