I own a 1999 kawasaki 1500 drifter motorcycle that i bought new from g&g cycles, 142 lafayette road, salisbury, ma, 01952.since it was new the turn signal would come on when i started the motorcycle.the dealer had no solution to the problem when i pointed out that it created a safety issue because, if i failed to turn it off before driving, it would signal other drivers that i was turning when i was not in fact going to do so, making them take dangerous action.in the last season of using the motorcycle the problem worsened.now the turn signals will work for only several flashes and then they blow the main fuse for the turn signals rendering them inoperative, again, a safety issue.the dealer tells me that there is no way that they can fix it aside from trying to replace the entire electronics on the motorcycle.this also renders the motorcycle unable to pass a safety inspection and therefore, inoperable on public roads.i would like the dealer to take responsibility for this original defect and fix my motorcycle.i am using an incident date that coincides with the first time, at purchase, that i noticed the problem.thank you for helping with this,gary lowe603-431-7484.
