Default Blinker Shuts Off Headlight

Hey everyone, I just Purchased an 03 954RR... Everytime I turn on the right blinker the headlight shuts off, but the blinker blinks fine. The left blinker works fine and the headlight stays on as it is supposed to... I've been trying to trouble shoot this all weekend and im getting nowhere... any input is appriciated... Thanks in advance.

no splicing... integrated tail light, and flush mount blinkers... direct plug in already equiped with resistors... blinkers blink fine on both sides... when the blinkers are off they stay on in the front for the running lights like they're supposed to... only problem is when i turn on the right blinker the headlight goes out, highbeam as well, but the right blinker still blinks like its supposed to.... Left blinker is perfectly fine, headlight stays on... I had the whole bike apart today... ran through the wiring harness to make sure there were no shorts... I'm lost...

Problem solved, it was the switch... Completely dissassembled the switch and i noticed when I switched the right blinker on the headlight would go out because the switch was worn on that side and the headlight was loosing ground... So what i did was tap the ground wire and the headlight wire together, now everything works perfect...
