Ok... the bike is running FANTASTIC!   The Headlight and High Beam work fantastic.... the turn signals work fantastic... both front and rear....Tail light and break light... Check!   
NOT WORKING are the emergency flashers ..... What does that relay look like and where is it.... and is there an Automotive/ORielly's alternative replacement for the beast?

It could be a relay, or a switch or connection or ???  Do you have a wiring diagram for your machine? Have you taken a look at wookie's test info?

As to what it looks like look at the diagrams on partzilla
www.partzilla.com/catalog/kawasaki/motor...electrical-equipment

As to location I would look under side cover for starters.

I'm not familiar with your model but if you can locate the 2 relays there is a good possibility that they are identical. If so then swap them around. If "not working" swaps to the turn signals then its the relay thats the problem. If not, then problem will likely be in a connection or in the handlebar switch.

Here are some pages from the FSM on the flasher system and tests to run on it. Hope is provides more info for you.
