CB550 Turn Signals
« on: February 08, 2024, 04:31:01 pm »
Just rebuilt my first CB550. It's a 76K. Can anyone answer why it is that the front turn signals are always on with the key on? They are acting as running lights. The rears remain off.  They all flash when the signal switch is activated, but the fronts remain on when the signal switch is off. Is this how they are supposed to work? Thanks!

Hello!

Yes, that's how they are supposed to work, as running lights.
I believe that began with the '75 models.

1973 models began the running light.
