    How does the cancelling function work? I understand a diode pack in the headlight bucket is involved.

    Once I got the right kind rear turn signals and bulbs installed, I noticed that all of a sudden my signals began self cancelling. "Great" I thought.

    Then after a day, they stopped self-cancelling again. What is the common point of failure for this function?

    Thanks.

    IIRC, the self-canceller uses a couple different methods. I believe, over a certain speed (I don't know what that speed is though), it will self cancel after X distance. Below this arbitrary speed, it's a timer function I think. Now, what breaks in them I have no idea, as I personally don't care for auto cancel and never allowed mine to do so; I learned on a bike where I had to turn them off, and I just do it out of habit.

    They cancel by time and distance. If it stops working it is usually the self canceling module itself. You can find them on ebay or from Chacal

    Or a connector. It gets its "signal" (to know if the bike is moving/how far/fast) from a reedswitch in the speedometer that gets "pulsed" by the speedo I believe 4 times a revolution (but I'm not 100% sure.) No signal from the reedswitch, the bike doesn't know it's moving.

    good point and they function fine with the canceler unplugged too so it could be connection there also.
