the title sais it all there are times when the turn signal can get stuck and its the first thing i wanna fix on the motorcycle. is there a way to fix it or will i need to replace it?
 
the switch might be worn out or the mechanism is gummed up. try cleaning the switch first, sometimes dirt or corrosion can cause it to stick. If not, you might need to replace the turn signal switch. It's usually an easy fix, but check the wiring too just in case.

there are a few things that can be the reasons. you should check the fuse, the wiring, clean and lubricate the switch, even check the bulbs.

this should do it! Happened to my brother's Star once.. he just took the time to clean it

there are a few reasons why it happens, from my experience it's mostly bcs of corrosion or the wiring connection. if you're dealing with this on your own. those two are the easiest things you can check

You might want to give it a spritz of contact cleaner and add a little dielectric grease, that often helps clear things up. If it continues to misbehave, replacing it could be the best option.

yep, mine was the wiring, had the same issue with my Yamaha star and checked the wiring myself. it's a little complicated, but I found a tutorial in YT and it worked
