I'm not sure how the factory "self cancelling" system works on a KZ, but on a Yamaha it is a combination of speed, time and distance! If the bike is moving over a certain speed, the signals stay on for a set time, below that speed, a set distance. That way, they don't time-out if the bike is stationary!

Yep, that's pretty much how it works on my 1100. I find that they turn off too soon in many cases as I approach the turn. I researched the possibility of modifying the system to keep them on longer but the electronics were more complicated than I wanted to get into.
