In the last 6 months, I have had four rear turn signal lights break off. It looks like a problem with the turn signals. I ride pretty hard in the desert, but this is a bad problem - especially at $40 a crack. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a replacement part that can fix the problem? I think this is a warranty problem (defective materials).

 

The best thing i can tell you to do is to buy some flush mounted signal lights that will mount under the rear rack so when you dump you bike they are out of harms way!

 

Where are they breaking? In half? At the mount? Might try mounting them different. The flex-y mount is all cute for when you bounce up and down but it might be too weak for fast, bumpy desert riding. Maybe build your own bracketry under the plastics, connected to the subframe, and screw the signals directly to them. That'll kill two birds with one stone (more solidly mounted + tuck them in).

 

My lens and bulb assembly/reflector fell out. I am going to try and get it covered under warranty.

 

nick, what year is your bike, 9 have 3 from an 07 i will sell for 40 for all three plus shipping. pm me

 

*I have 3

 

It's not an enduro bike, I think it's a rider problem

 

Don't know what year your bike is, or if there is any connection, but the '08 KLR 650s have had a lot of trouble with the rubber breaking on turn signals. I think Kawasaki has treated it as a warranty problem in most cases.
