Indicators Need Checking Too

Indicators are easy to overlook because they are small, boring, and usually only noticed by other people. That is exactly why you should check them.

Make sure they work front and rear, flash at the right rate, sit securely, and can actually be seen with your luggage or number plate setup. Aftermarket indicators can look neat and still be nearly useless from the wrong angle.

Communication matters on the road. A clear signal gives other people a better chance of understanding what you are about to do. You still ride defensively, but you do not need to make the guessing game harder.
