: Headlight and front blinker problems

New to the site and hopefully I can get some help without spending lots of money at the dealership.

When I turn on my bike the headlights won't work, and then for some reason when ever I put on the right or left turn signal, (doesn't matter which one) it shows that both of the turn signal icons on my dash are blinking at the same and also while those are blinking, the high beam symbol blinks at the same time. When this happens the rear blinkers are still working (which ever direction I turned on the blinker) but the front blinker lights up very dim to where you almost can't even see it flashing, even at night. I'd really appriciate the help in anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks

Have you checked the main wiring harness connector, under the front fairing infil.....these are well known to corrode and cause probs such as this
Spray it clean and apply some dielectric grease
good luck

Sounds like a harness problem. Yamaha is famous for harnesses burning and shorting out. Take off your panels and look for burns at the connectors or melted connectors, or anything that doesn't look right.

Did you install aftermarket turn signals? Crossing the wires can have a similar effect.
