delayed action blinkers

G'day, does any body know why my blinkers take up to 10 seconds to respond for the first 10-15 minutes after I start the bike.
Hot days and after I've been using it for a while is fine, but first ride after a few days rest is a pain in the arse.

 

It could be the contacts in the handle bar switch. Mine does it for the right blinker on really could mornings. If I douse it with Wd-40 it works better for a while. I need to take mine apart and give it a proper cleaning

 

Flasher could be shot!

 

Is the switch mechanism inside the left grip supposed to be covered in grease?

 

if it is dielectric grease it is ok. if it is anything else probably not.

 

I have seen several posts about this issue, described exactly how wagzhp describes it above and how it is for me. Right directional will either lag or not come on at all, only when cold. Warmer weather, they both work great. I have seen it described as a cleaning issue or a design issue of the switch.

Since the weather has been warming up, I haven't poked around the forums anymore than that

 

Thanks guys, I will dismantle it today and clean it with some spray electrical contact cleaner.

 

Good news, I pulled it apart and cleaned it with contact cleaner spray and then sprayed it with WD40.
It now works fine every time.
The electrical system on these bikes seems to be the weak point.
I earlier had the problem of the FI light coming on when I used the blinkers or at idle.
It was the earth block which came good once I cleaned it the same way.
Thanks to all.
