My turn signal button fell off or broke off while riding on a highway. I use my signals a lot so I probably fatigued the button to a point where it broke off. (lack of use of turn signals is one of my biggest driving pet peeves).
I know the signals automatically go off at a certain distance. Still I needed to have them available as well as the riding mode button so here is how I temporarily fixed it with a pen and yes, duct tape.
1. Take the pen apart and cut off the end where there's no ink.
2. Press this pen part into the hole as shown in the picture.
3. Press a piece of duct tape over it forcing the pen part through it. Make sure the duct tape has slack on each side so it's possible to move the turn signal button left and right.
Test that the pen part goes in as far as it needs to turn off the turn signals and to change riding modes.
