First place I'd check is the 10 amp "Flasher" fuse.

no lights at all or just not flashing?

you might need the electronic flasher relay because led lights dont put enough load on stock ones

This is it. If you switch to LED turn signals, you need a different flasher.

Do you just need a Heavy Duty Flasher that you can buy from the parts store or do you need something special?? I just installed LED rear taillights on my bike (removed the fronts) and I'm having the same problem, they burn steady with no flash. Thanks and sorry for the hijack
