Well put me on the list of 08s that have had the right side turn signal fall off. Is there any aftermarket units out there sure dont want to buy another one from KAW so i can have the same problem. I love this bike but there are some things i think they could have made a little better.Thanks! Chris

Would expect an 08 to probably still be under warranty? If so take it back and have them replace it?

I have had both the rear turn signals fall off. For now I have a combination gorilla glue and scotch tape holding them up :( Would love to see a good after market replacement.

Did they simply break and fall off or did the bike get dropped, I have pulled tugged and hit mine with the helmet and they are still there, just wondering where exactly the weak point is? Thanks!

What's your idle speed? I find that when my idle speed is too low, my bike pops on decel. I didn't ride my KLR to work today so I can't go look at where I set my idle, but I didn't set my idle according to the book. I set my idle according to seat of my pants. When my idle is too fast, my bike doesn't want to decel when I shut the throttle. When my idle is too low, my bike pops when I shut the throttle. This is a KLR, so idle speed isn't brain surgery, it's "fiddle the bloody thing until it works" :-). -E

Is it the supporting hardware that came off or did the flasher arm actually broke off ? I have no problem with mine but have just change them to flush mounted made by Emgo over the weekend. I'm afraid of braking them off if I drop the bike off road. I also used a dual fillament in the front and use them as driving lights to increase safety on in coming traffic. I had the same set up on my 2000 KLR and it did the job. Sylvain --- AnanthR wrote:
