I think you are simply taking it off the choke too soon. Until the bike warms up and some gas flows through the carb, the bike does not idle uniformly. It wanders around a bit. This clears up once it's warm (at about 5 minutes or so, maybe a little more.) If you take the choke off too soon, it will *seem* like it's idling smoothly, but then it will drift lower and stall out. Then you 've left your headlight on and you are draining your battery. If your battery is weak, leaving the headlight on will drain it pretty quick.

Re the signaling - I have the same problem. Mine was broken when it was delivered new, and the dealer "fixed" it. But on occasion they just don't work. It's been intermittent for about a year now, but they mostly do work so I haven't dealt with it. I suspect corroded contacts, probably from shipping sea salt. They probably cleaned them up when I brought it in, but corrosion always comes back.
