Agility 50 / Turn signal problems
« on: August 26, 2018, 09:40:58 PM »
A few years ago, I purchased my 2016 Kymco Agility 50 brand new, currently has about 6400 miles on it. I take very good care of my scooter and maintain it myself, changing the motor and gear oil and spark plug exactly on time, earlier if need be, (though these more than likely are not related to the issue) and replacing any damaged parts.
I've replaced the headbulb twice since purchasing the vehicle, but have never had problems with my turn signals up until recently. I moved from Virginia to Florida in May and the scooter did not take any damage whatsoever in the move.
While at work, I park it behind a bar owned by a group of friendly bikers a few doors down to avoid taking it on the very busy main road, and they have me park my scooter next to the door so they can keep an eye on it for me (seriously, these people raise hell if someone even LOOKS at it the wrong way). They told me they haven't seen anybody mess with it.
But twice within the past few weeks, I go to get my scooter after work to find that the right turn signal has been activated. This is odd, considering I make a LEFT turn to get into the parking lot. At first I was upset, thinking that someone was messing with the controls without my permission, but again, the owners of the bar said they haven't seen anyone touch it. So I didn't think anything of it, maybe they didn't catch them. Thought of investing in some sort of security system.
Today I went to get my scooter after working a double-shift. This was the first time I worked a double shift, so the scooter was sitting outside for longer than it usually is. When I turned it on, all seemed fine. When I went to make a right turn, however, I tried to activate my turn signal. Two rapid clicks and the signal cut off. Tried again. This happened three times at the same stop, but it worked fine the rest of the ride. Checked all signals when I got home and all seemed to be working just fine.
Is this an electrical problem with the switch? A fuse going bad? Is it possible that one of my signals is about to start dying? Chances are, it's something I can fix myself. I am hoping it's not water damage because it has been rained on before. Hoping someone here can give me a pointer as to what it might be so I can fix it before it becomes a serious issue.
Thanks in advance!
