Q: I have installed the Return springs. But the switch is too hard to push in
both directions. I am afraid of breaking it. How do I fix it?
A: If too much force is required to push the lever in and activate the turn
signals - either the spiral spring is not fully collapsing by nesting inside each
turn or the tolerance of your switch is too tight. Try using the foam plugs
instead of the metal springs.
Q: I have installed SM-3R. Since it is already pre-connected for the running
lights, all I had to do was to hook-up the brake input. Do I still have to
modify the handlebar switch?
A: You don’t have to, but modifying it will make the entire turn signal system
on your bike fully automatic. You will not have the hassle of canceling the
switch at all.
Q: I have hooked-up the brake override wire on my SM-6. But it doesn’t
seem to extend the time-out even if the brakes are applied. There’s only that
option to connect, why doesn’t it work?
A: The Brake Override has a high trigger voltage of 12.3V at the input. If
you test it with the engine running, there should be sufficient voltage to
trigger the override feature.
Q: I have installed SM-3S on my BMW F650 and have hooked-up all
options. I am having difficulty with installing the return springs. Examples
shown in the booklet do not match my handlebar switch.
A: Unfortunately the internal sliding block of the F650 switch rotates instead
of moving linearly. This makes installing two opposing springs difficult.
Using high-density foam has worked for some owners.
Q: I can’t keep the coil springs from sliding down in the cavities of the
handlebar switch. The cavities are open, they do not have plastic cap at the
bottom. When the springs slide down, they cause a short and then the fuse
blows. Can I use the foam plugs? Are they sturdy for the job?
A: On some of the Honda VTX models, the switch cavity does not have the
bottom protective cap. Therefore if the metal springs falls toward the bottom,
it can cause a short and blow the fuse. Please use the foam plugs. They are
non-conductive and durable to suit this application.
