So laid my r6 down and before the lay down my stuff was working fine. After the lay down i fixed the bike back to normal installed new fairings hooked my front blinkers back up and bike gets drained of power to start it. Unhook the blinkers and everything is just fine again no battery drain. These are aftermarket flush mount led signals. Only doing it on the front was wondering if someone could point me in a direction as to what to look for also when I was testing them out when i turn either of them on the other dimly blinks as well. Checked all the connections and everything is wired right via the schematics and how they were before the accident.
You have an un-grounded wire somewhere bro. So if i were you i would check again. It's the only thing that could be draining your battery. Happened to me when i bought aftermarket side mirrors...now i dont even keep them plugged. (waste of money)
Aye guess i will be looking for a bad ground wire then maybe do some resistance checks that should lead me to the bad grounding i would think. Thanks for a lead on what to look for been killing my head looking for this fix...
Little digging, from my online manual it looks like two wires, so if you have the brown(chocolate) and dark green wires to both the positive wires for their respective sides and the black to the negative wires, there may be an issue in the wire harness itself. When you installed new fairings did you see any damage to the harness or any connectors?
Turns out my battery was in the process of dying and the blinkers were bad from the wreck, replaced both and walla running like a champ with signals. No more nasty hand signaling
hhey hand signaling isnt a bad thing either lol..but kudos to you for fixing the problem.
