FRONT AND REAR TURN SIGNALS FALL OFF. THEY ARE DESIGNED TO FALL OFF WHEN STRUCK BY ANOTHER OBJECT, BUT IN REALITY, THEY FALL OFF DURING NORMAL USE OF THE VEHICLE. THE TURN SIGNALS DO NOT HAVE TO TOUCH ANYTHING TO FALL OFF. WHEN THEY FALL OFF THEY ARE HANGING BY A WIRE AND FLOP AROUND. AT THIS POINT, YOUR TURN SIGNALS ARE USELESS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES IN ONE YEAR. I WAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE PROBLEM BY THE DEALER EVEN DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD, SO I REPLACE THE TURN SIGNAL AND WAIT FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

YESTERDAY, 9-12-08, I FOUND THAT ALSO WHILE PARKED, THE LEFT FRONT TURN SIGNAL HAD FALLEN OFF. UPON INSPECTION, I FOUND THE REMAINING TURN SIGNALS TO BE FOLLOWING SUIT.

THE RUBBER SUPPORTING TWO TURN INDICATORS ON THE MOTORCYCLE HAS FAILED. A FRONT AND REAR TURN INDICATOR WERE FOUND DANGLING AFTER RIDES ON DIFFERENT DAYS. I THOUGHT I MUST HAVE ACCIDENTALLY KICKED/BUMPED THE INDICATOR WHEN I DISCOVERED THE FIRST HAD BROKEN. AFTER THE SECOND ONE BROKE (DISCOVERED AFTER A RIDE HOME FROM MY FOLKS 13 MILES AWAY), I TURNED TO THE INTERNET TO TRY TO FIND OUT IF OTHERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. TO MY SURPRISE, I WASN'T ALONE. MANY OWNERS OF KAWASAKI KLR650 MOTORCYCLES ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS ABLE TO HAVE BOTH TURN INDICATORS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT OUR LOCAL KAWASAKI DEALERSHIP (7/18/08). I WAS TOLD THAT THE INDICATORS WOULD ONLY BE REPLACED UNDER THE ONE YEAR MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. NOW THAT I'M INTO MY EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD (BEGAN 7/28/08), ITEMS SUCH AS THESE ARE NOT COVERED ANY LONGER (ONLY MAJOR MECHANICAL ISSUES ARE NOW COVERED). REPLACING THE FAULTY RUBBER IS NOT AN EASY TASK AS KAWASAKI DOES NOT HAVE A PART NUMBER FOR THIS PIECE. THE ENTIRE TURN SIGNAL ASSEMBLY MUST BE ORDERED WHICH RUNS CLOSE TO $50 EACH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I'M HOPING KAWASAKI DECIDES TO RECALL THE 2008 KLR650 MOTORCYCLES TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TURN INDICATORS. MY MOTORCYCLE WAS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD AND HAD LESS THAN 1,200 MILES ON THE BIKE WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN TO HAVE THE INDICATORS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
