Just wondering

2013 GTS 300 with 2800kms on it.

Anyone else ever have the indicator switch fall apart on them.

Switch just decided to crap it self mechanically. The slide part has sprung outward from the assembly somehow. Floppy and totally unusable now.

I have not dug in to see what happened to it yet and I have not contacted local Vespa shop (mechanic).

Obviously something I need to get working again promptly.

WIll advise what I /we discover but I have never had an indicator switch fail on any of many bikes over the years. They are kind of a parts bin item.

It's very unusual - but anything can fail early if there was a hidden manufacturing defect. The switches are cheap, but hopefully yours is still under warranty?

Interesting.
I have also have a 2013 GTS 300 with 2800kms on it.
The very first time I rode it I thought the indicator switch felt "flimsy".
Mine still works but I do little town riding so not much indicating.
Let us know the outcome.
Thanks
