It is with some surprise that I read about self cancelling signals. I have had my bike for over 15 years and it never occurred to me that this existed. With some excitement I anticipated the thrill of turning and not having to push the side of my right thumb up to turn off the signals. Now off to test. First a right turn, signal on, signal still on, speed up a bit, signal still on, have now travelled 500m with signal blinking, starting to feel like an idiot, apologize to right thumb and manually cancel the signal. Perhaps the left signal will self cancel thus reducing wear-and-tear on my thumb by 50%. Here we go, left turn signal on, blinking, turn completed, signal still blinking, sped up to 30km/h, 40km/h, still blinking, approaching 50 km/h, defeated feeling, manually cancel signal. Are there versions of K75's that do not have self-cancelling signals? Are both signal relays defective?
