Hi all new here looking for some help I've owned a GT triple black for one year now and she's a stunning bike, couple of issues sorted through warranty but one persistent. We fitted genuine triumph scrolling indicators and they keep randomly failing Dealers changed the indicators three times now onto new clocks still no joy anyone got any ideas. Thanks in advance

The consensus seems to be that it's a software issue. A few people have said that updating their software helped the situation. I'm not aware of anyone that has them working flawlessly. Someone suggested wiring a diode in series would likely fool the canbus, but I'm not aware of anyone that's tried it.

My experience with scrolling indicators is that they do not need a flasher unit. I have fitted them to two motorcycles and bypassed the flasher unit as the indicators scroll when you power them up. The flasher unit can cause them to switch off mid scroll, so to speak. Maybe the on time for the indicators needs to be adjusted somewhere in the software, but that's just a shot in the dark from my side.

Someone posted in the FB forum that if you have indicator error issues, flicking your hazards on and off brings them back? I don't have the issue so I haven't tested it...
