I've lost the mechanical resistance that gives the "click" feedback when I use the cancel switch. It was just gone this morning, no progressive decline that I recall. Now I'm looking all the time to be sure I've cancelled after signalling. No loose parts that a quick look & feel exposed. Anyone have thoughts or similar issue with the switch gear on the bars?

I still am not completely comfortable with the feel of the cancel switch and sometimes, I don't feel the click at all, but I still canceled the signal. It seems that the angle of push has an effect on the feel of the click. If push from the top, the click is more pronounced, whereas, if I push more in line with the button, the feel is much less.

I've rotated the right switch cluster forwards to bring the indicator switch into a better position and a side effect of this is that the cancel switch falls much more readily to my thumb. I can't recall much of a click sensation on either switch. Btw, you cannot rotate the left cluster on a bike with heated grips as its anchored to the grip

Loosing the click is a failure inside the switch. Not totally uncommon - it's been mentioned a number of times on the BMW-MOA Hexhead forums. Fix is a new switch, which is not inexpensive..

Thanks - I figured some nub of plastic has broken off somewhere inside the thing... I may just survive without it for a while - kinda getting used to the feel & checking the cluster to be sure lights are off is a good practice anyway.
