There is a cap on the mph needle that fell off and rolls around the bottom of the speedometer inside. I was riding and all the sudden a red light is illuminating which caused me to lose focus on the road wondering what happened and why this light is now on. No inspections have been made yet. No warning the cap just fell off and rolls inside of the speedometer.

When bike gets wet the right turn signal blinks, and will not cancel. Turn bike of then the left one starts blinking, when cancelled the right one will start blinking, and will not cancel. I had to drive 300 miles with the hazards on without turn signals. Also the bright indicator goes on, and off with the brights off.
