    Should I guess at the question ? lol - yes pushing should turn off signal lights but I usually return it to the center position myself because my signal cancelling unit is not working. You can spray electrical contact cleaner to clean up the parts inside.

    You sure it's the cancelling unit and not just a failed reedswitch in the speedo shell? If the reedswitch fails (common) then the cancelling unit doesn't think the bike is moving and it won't cancel.
