Flasher? Do All the bulbs work? Was the new switch installed correctly? Just cuz he a wrench at a dealer! RIDE SAFE.

who said it needed a new switch? I've had blinkers not work on a bike, but one side only, you knew the switch was at fault.

But if all your blinkers aren't working, and the switch seems to function properly (you can feel it), then I would suspect something else 1st. I would trace the wires down with a meter, and would suspect the flasher or plugs not connected.

Chances are the old switch had dried up OEM grease. A good cleaning and new grease probably would have fixed it. Your new issue should go back to the dealer.

Likely low on blinker fluid. (Damn it somebody had to say it.)

Actually we could use a little more background in the problem. How did you determine it was a switch problem? Was there any modifications done prior to this? When did they last work? What happened since?

A little more history on this would help.

Good video on the turn signal switch.
