LOL, I know what you mean, Β I don't have the buzzer but a friend does and following him in a turn with his signals on is annoying.

From what I understand, you can just pull the plug on the buzzer without any special wiring fuss. Β Just insulation to keep it from shorting out on something. Β St.

Beware! I do not suffer fools gladly! St.

β€’ Correct, unless the noise maker is part of the flasher relay.Β 
β€’ Finding the culprit should be easy. Just follow your ears.

Owning an old Airhead is easy.
Keeping an old Airhead running great is the true test.

They were usually mounted under the left side cover near the battery tray. Β St.

I ran across this issue when replacing the wiring harness on my 81 RT. Looking at schematic (see attached)Β frobuym EME for '79-80 RS and RT it shows the buzzer with a blue and blue-red wire going to it. There is also a buzzer relay. On schematic for '81-86 RS and RT the buzzer is not in system. I may be wrong (not first time nor last) but it maybe a European version bike. I'd disconnect the blue wire at the buzzer. It comes from terminal 30 of buzzer relay.

Thank you all!

I am ressiting the temptation to work on the RS until I finish the 100RT in my basement (soon!) .

I will be very happy to learn it is as easy as pulling a relay, whiich can hopefully serve as a spare elsewhere.

Β 

but.. geez, I would love to have been in THAT marketing meeting to see how this was ever a good idea πŸ˜‰
