No, you have to turn them off every time you use them. But, I have not left them on and measured the distance to see if they turn off like you posted.
Are the indicators self cancelling?
According to the user manual:
If the turn indicator is not reset manually, the
instrument panel will automatically switch it off after
the motorcycle has travelled 500 m (0.3 miles) from
when the turn indicator was activated. The counter
for the distance travelled for automatic deactivation
is only activated at speeds below 80 km/h (50 mph).
So far I haven't seen mine auto cancel.... can anyone confirm that this is indeed working?

I'd been wondering the same thing, but haven't yet seen the turn indicator turn off automatically (regardless of how long you leave them blinking). Weird that the manual says they do. We'll see what the dealer says. I'm due for my first service in a bit.
That's a long time to go with your blinker on. As far as I'm concerned, that's not auto-canceling so much as it is turning it off after you've clearly forgot to do it yourself.
Yes it works. But you have to travel 500 metres AND stay below 80KPH or 50MPH. The distance is too long if you're in town and the speed is too low if you're out of town. So it's frigging pointless. Why there is a speed trigger to stay below defies all logic. ....Oh....wait a minute....it's a Scrambler!
Maybe these values can be changed once someone hacks into the ecu?
Oh, interesting, mine has never self cancelled in 1000 miles...thought it did not have this capability.

I agree I haven't left mine on long enough to tell, but it definitely doesn't seem to be self canceling in any helpful manner at least.
It's such a simple thing to do from a manufacturer's POV. I don't get why all bikes wouldn't have this feature in our modern day of electronic assists. The best way to look like a dork on your new bike is to drive around with your signal on because you're not checking your dash (and shouldn't really because you should be looking at the road!).
Is it possible to install an aftermarket device for self-cancelling signals?
Somebody did this in one of the Scrambler demo ride videos. I couldn't stop staring at his blinker.The best way to look like a dork on your new bike is to drive around with your signal on because you're not checking your dash (and shouldn't really because you should be looking at the road!).
The turn signal on this bike ARE self canceling - it just takes a while (1/3 of a mile at under 50 mph).Is it possible to install an aftermarket device for self-cancelling signals?
The way I drive they are never going to cancel out on their own

I am not sure that my bike has that feature. It might be a North American thing.

Nope - all models. Check your owners manual

My german model does it exactly as described: off after 500 m with velocity max. 80 km/h. This is nothing to be used on purpose -it takes too long-, more an 'emergency switch off' in case rider has forgotten to turn off.
It seems that if the tech is baked in then there should be a way to change the variables once the unit is hacked and the bike is outside warranty. It amazes me that a company like HD does this on all their bikes (and I might add that it works quite well) yet Ducati is still in the stone age with it. It is the one single thing I miss about my previous Sportster.
The HD method is much cruder - albeit more effective - it just monitors the flasher relay.It seems that if the tech is baked in then there should be a way to change the variables once the unit is hacked and the bike is outside warranty.

I'm not sure I'd want them any shorter. If you rely on them and for some reason they don't self cancel the results could be horrific, I'll stick to taking responsibility for switching them off myself thanks. I'm a big believer in all of the tech that's coming along, I think it's bloody marvellous, but there's some that just doesn't belong on a bike and unless you could give me a cast iron guaranty that self cancelling indicators will work, every time, in the road space required, I wouldn't want it.
