Turn signal wobbles like it's not properly tightened. Not just 1 but all of them. Any body else bike does this? Will probably replace them with factory LEDs any way.

I noticed that in some of the "first ride" track videos. Head on shots with the bike coming down the track, front turn signals seemed to flail around a little. Didn't give it much thought, they look rubberized.

Mine are the same way but I might try to tighten them.

I noticed this on one of the first videos too, but I think it was the R25 and the rider was in India riding hard on the track. Anyway, I think it is due to the connector being flimsy and there is nothing to tighten. Just live with it. I had the same thing on my 2012 Triumph Street Triple R. Eventually though, those broke and there was a recall to replace them. These may be fine. If not, it will be a minor and quick fix.

They are rubber mounted in case of a spill.

My guess is that it might be hotter in Indonesia than my location. So the rubber may have shrank a little causing a loose fit. I guess I'll have to open it up to see for sure. I can move it around with my hand way too freely

Has nothing to do with a loose fit, its just rubber. A hollow rubber sleeve.

I was watching my wife ride her R3 today and was mesmerized at how the signals bounced around and vibrated. And it was only 15 degrees (60 f) today. Not hot at all. Temp has not been any higher than 15 for the last month.

Only true way to remedy this is to replace it with after market signals. Those will always be rubber coated metal, not hollow rubber sleeves. The moment you remove the factory signals, you will completely understand. It is literally just hollow rubber. 2 inches or so of hollow rubber. Add the weight of the huge-ass/ugly orange pumpkin turn signals, throw in motorcycle in motion and boom. Highly suggestive and sexual wobbling of the turn signals.

Highly suggestive and sexual wobbling of the turn signals.

Japan is known for turning out some powerful bikes, and sexy always follows. But Japanese are not known for being a very romantic people or understanding romance and sexy like us Americans do. It could be, due to the lack of power, Japan unfortunately confused, misinterpreted the general publics qualifications for a sexy bike and tried compensating for the lack of "thrust" by adding the dangly dildo looking things.

I just saw a video of a fender eliminator install and these signals are only held on with a clip. My last 3 bikes had nut mounted signals and never had the super wobbly issues. They weren't Yamaha's though. Oh well. Still love the bike
