The turn signals work when the key is turned. After you start the bike the turn signals no longer work. Any help would be great.. Created by Adrian Valentine. cars-transportation-en - motorcycles-en

Turn signals won't work on 89 Harley Sportster 883?

I used to have the same type of problems with my 83 iron head. The back of your headlight is a central junction for the wire harness. My iron head would vibrate so much all kinds of goofy things would happen. You have to remember your riding a bike with a 4 speed trans when you hit over 50 to 60 things start to rattle apart. check the wiring that goes into the headlight and the wiring inside the headlight. You should find your problem there. Expect more problems there as you ride it more. I love Harley and have owned one since I was 19 but you need a tool bag with you. If my iron head wasn't leaking oil, it didn't have oil in it!

i have wrenched on almost any variety of mechanical device you may imagine of and that i have discovered there is reality to the adage, "If it ain't broke, do not restore it." on your case, that applies to the section about tearing issues down and replacing gaskets. in the adventure that they don't look to be leaking, then go away them on my own until eventually a mating section is being bumped off. Rubber seals like those around the shifter shaft might want to leak yet having reported that would no longer. I propose you first get it going and run it. you'll discover it does each and every thing you assume of it and there is little want to sock quite some paintings and money into it. If it would not, then you quite can bypass to creating differences. first of all, the most certain fireplace thanks to attain pleasant, usable horsepower is with better displacement. by utilising pleasant I mean low and midrange capacity and by no potential something that would not arrive until eventually the redline or leaves your engine weak as a kitten at low rpms. it really is what radical grind cams and exhausts grant you with. Port and varnish jobs are eye-catching to examine and tremendous to gloat about, yet any better capacity will be minimum and at better rpms. Too large of a carb will in reality run decently at large throttle openings and severe rpms. on the city utilising will be ugly at magnificent. It appears like you acquire very much and there is quite some own pride received in bringing a motorbike or vehicle back to life, exceedingly once you do the paintings your self. sturdy success and earnings from the approach.

Hmmmm. That's a new one. Try signal module. Check your connections at it. Should be 8 pin connector. Make sure they are all seated. If they are R&R module. Sounds like something is loose. When it starts vibration is causing your issue. Turn key on and wiggle wires. That's a good one.
