I've been enjoying my '82 XS400 for about a month now, but in the last week or so the turn signals no longer blink consistently - the stay on as a solid light now (they seem to blink sometimes after shifting gears, but often are just a solid light particularly when I come to a stop). After reading through the helpful threads here my first step today was to take apart the signal housing to clean it out - turns out mine was pretty clean - just needed a toothbrush cleanup. Next step will be to check each of the bulbs and clean the light sockets as well. All of the lights light up, so I know a bulb isn't completely out.
At any rate, in case anybody wants to see what the inside of the housing looks like before opening it up (it's quite easy to open up, but nonetheless), here are a few photos from today. Sharing the love.
