front turn signals always on
 
anyone help me figure out how to make it so my front turn signals aren't always on. They all of the sudden turned on and stay on. The back ones are normal so im a bit confused, any help?

You change front signals? That's all can think of. Used the wrong two wires (outta 3).

Other than that, no clue

The front turn signals also act as running lights ( stay on ) rear ( stay off ) just turn signals.

yep i agree they are probably running lights. try turning on the turn signals and if they are brighter then before they are definatly running lights. if you want to turn them off you have to take off the turn signals and pull out one of the three wires or you might have to cut it but i think if you pull it out of the housing clip for it will crack but it still works. did it when i got aftermarket flush mounts and i had an extra wire i didnt use.

Your front "blinkers" are a combination of running light and blinker, and a three wire unit. The "running light" is always on when the key is on. If you have went to aftermarket blinkers and put a two wire unit on the bike it is only a blinker. If that is the case do this. Wire the green from the bike side to the black on the aftermarket. Then take the colored wire and connect it to the red wire on the aftermarket. If that solid colored wire from the bike is what you are using now, switch over to the colored wire with the white stripe. That should get you back on running with normal blinkers without having the running lights installed. Just make sure to "cap" off the running light wire or you might get a short when the wire touches something.

And to answer your first question if they are the stock front blinkers they were on to begin with??

My front turnsignal did that from time to time and i found the wire was loose in the connector that was on the bolt grounding that light to the frame, so check your ground to the bike on what ever signal is staying on.

Our bikes stock have that as a running light. So if you got the stock turn signals and don't want it, you need to cut the running light wire from the turn signal. Take the fairing off and undo the connector and use a light tester to figure out which one is the running light.
