Rear running lights don't work, the turn indicators work the brake work but no ambers?

Check the fuse and bulbs, and for voltage at the connectors.

What kind of bike is a N/A? :teeth

Lol...that's why it doesn't work; it's N/A. The headlights won't work, the ignition won't work...hell, can't even open up the gas tank! :teeth.

Seriously, check the connectors and make sure that the wire is connected properly. I think on some models, the bulb on brake light is the same as the running lights. For example, stock turn signals have 3 wires on my FZR since it acts as running light as well as turn signal.

Rear signals are signals only.

Ok make that three that aren't working. The right front is not working either. The bulbs work fine when you engage the turn indicators, but the running lights are not on. Only the front left is on?

It's a 1989 Radian, I don't know how to change my profile?

Did they ever work since you've had it? Also, if you could clarify about the rear lights. There are 3 lights: left, right and brake lights. Of those, I think the brake light is the only one that act as running light as well. Did this ever work as running light? My guess is that if the brake light works, then it's not the bulb but a loose connection. Same with front indicators. On the front, one of 3 wires is loose; could either be where it enters the indicator housing, where it connects to the wiring harness or could be further down the harness.

The rear (if it's similar to my fzr) connects with a plug of sort. So I would check all connections first.

My friend just told me that the rear has no running lights (kinda weird) and another thing he said is that it has a double filament in the bulb. So I'm gonna check on that after I get my cards back in, oh yeah by the way do guys have any tips on getting the carbs back in?

HA:)HA:)HA:)

But seriously, you mean oil plugs. I got them with a hammer and a torque wrench that was set to 35lbs. Way too much for a fucken drain plug. But man did it have some gas in it, about five quarts came out. Good Sh1t!
