Hmmmmmm... Just what the world needs......
Please explain.
Your question and observations were based on your indicators staying on whilst the motor cycle was stationary. That is what they do, it is normal. It is explained fully in the owner's manual:
The turn indicators are cancelled automatically after you have ridden for approximately 10 seconds, or covered a distance of about 200 m.
That answers your 'normality' question.
Your implied question was whether or not this could be overcome. In other words, BUMW is now faced with a two speed world:
(1) Some people want the time lengthened. In general this longer time request seems to centre on a wish that they stay on by about another 50 or so meters, so that they will flash from the 300 meter marker on a motorway, right to the point of exit into the slip road. The reason given is that there are enough distractions going on, without having to remember to re-start the indicators.
(2) Some (you) want the time shortened, so that they do not flash when stationary or, perhaps, that they do not flash permanently when the vehicle is stopped.
My observation merely raised the possibility of you, when stationary, turning the indicator off yourself when you (and not a pre-programmed trigger) adjudged it safe or necessary to do so. In reality, you judging when it is safe to turn off a flashing light is no different to you judging when it is safe (and necessary) to turn it on and / or to change from a stationary position to moving again, to complete your manoeuvre. Both are thought processes and actions which you manage without any input from BuMW at all.
I can only assume that the time you would want the indicator to flash for when stationary will vary on a number of different circumstances? Traffic density being one, I guess? Lay out of the junction, being another, perhaps? What pre-set time period will you ask BuMW for?
