When i was wheeling my KTM into the garage I noticed that my left rear turn signal was dangling by the wires. KTM mounted the turn signals on flexible stalks to prevent breakage in case of a minor get off. I must have hit the turn signal hard enough with my boot when I was dismounting to dislodge the light assembly from the stalk. I tried to push it back on, but something did not look right when compared to the other side. There was a slight gap between the stalk and the light, where the other side had none. Sure enough, it continued to come loose until I fixed it in place with some electrical tape. I finally found some time this week to run it by my dealer. The service manager went on a KTM service site and found that this was happening to a lot of other owners. Now I don't feel so stupid when other people have the same issue!
Anyway, there is a "trick" to reattaching the light to the stalk. One can not just press it into place (as I had tried). It is a press it into the stalk and rotate it into position. I can't tell you how many degrees off and in what direction the light must be in order for it to be snapped (ROTATED) into the home position. If i was stupid enough to do it once, I will most likely do it again. Then I can come back and tell you exactly what to do to snap it into place.
