Turn signals/hazard flashers gone

Yesterday, my turn signals crapper out on me while I was out riding. Discovered that the hazard lights weren't working either. (All 4 corners)
I checked the fuse, antique the issue is not there. I am wondering if it could be the flasher relay. No clue where that is. I imagine the owners manual would be able to tell me, but I'm lacking that little book.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Looks like someone was modifying something and burn through with a cut-off wheel is my guess

Any takers on the subject?

GUys, what happened is that during the winter, I pulled the ECU to send it off to Ivan's to get it reflashed, and I did not notice at the time that I had knocked the flasher unit out of its spot.


And since the bike is relatively new (to me) I did not notice that there was something missing when I put the ECU back in. There was enough wire that when it dropped down, it ended up resting in a nook between the frame and the top of the belt.

It survived I'm guessing 50 miles before it died.

Now, the belt itself still looks just about brand-spankin-new. You cannot tell, just about, that it was playing belt sander to a critical electrical component.

Yeah, I feel like a dunce right now.

That belt is made of awesomely strong kevlar... It eats anything that gets in it's way. In your case it was a turn signal relay - and in mine it was a set of pulleys.

I'd rather have been in your position than mine, so don't beat yourself up too bad.
