Default Electrical trouble

My headlights (low or high...doesnt matter) and my blinkers are not working! I took apart the switch and fuse...no issues that I could identify. My rear brake light is working fine. Horn works fine.

Any ideas? are there any in line fuses anywhere?

There was a post about this somewhere earlier. I had the same problem plus my guage lights were out too. For me it was the grey plug under the faring where all the wire bundles go into, just under the throttle. Plug was just loose.

that plug looked ok....this is so odd. I will add that i recently went to LEDs in teh front and rear. everything was working fine for a few rides and now i have no blinkers or headlights.

I had a blown fuse at one point and I replaced that.

my gauges are all working fine.

I am thinking i have a short/ground issue at one of my connections. Ill have to pull apart all the nice wiring i did and start over.

Turn the key on without starting it. Press and hold both a and b buttons down until just the hour side is blinking. Change with b button and switch with a button. After set leave the bike alone. Don't turn it off! It will stop flashing and then you can turn the bike off/on.

Yes...i know how to set it....the problem is...it is always flashing. When i turn the key to on...its already flashing and doesnt stop after 10 seconds....it just keeps flashing.

Pressing a or b button does nothing to the clock time (hours or mins).

Pressing and holding both doesnt do anything, especially let me set the clock.

So I will try disconnecting the fuse and battery tomorrow.

Mine does the same, I can set it and after I kill the bike it resets. Im sure its a loose wire in the harness. I just cleaned my harness with wire cleaner so when I get it back together we will see.

Isn't there a separate fuse for the clock so that it keeps time when the ignition is off? Maybe that is blown and causing issues. I could be thinking of a different bike though...
