I ride my bike every day to work. It is garaged and when outside it is always covered. I have never taken the bike off road or dirt trail riding. The bike has never fallen, been dropped or knocked over. When I pulled the cover off on 9/20/2008 at 1957hrs to head home I found that the left front turn signal was snapped off at the faring.

Front and rear turn signals fall off. They are designed to fall off when struck by another object, but in reality, they fall off during normal use of the vehicle. The turn signals do not have to touch anything to fall off. When they fall off they are hanging by a wire and flop around. At this point, your turn signals are useless. This has happened 6 times in one year. I was offered no assistance or acknowledgement of the problem by the dealer even during the warranty period, so I replace the turn signal and wait for it to happen again. I have talked to other owners and they are having the same problem.
