Modification may be required
Wire Set-up
ground = black goes to Kawasaki black/ Yellow
running light = green Goes to Kawasaki Red
brake light = red Goes to Kawasaki Blue
left turn signal = orange Goes to Kawasaki Green
right turn signal = yellow Goes to Kawasaki Grey
Then with it not flashing, those new rear turn signals are LED lights?
Then you need new Flasher relays That are electronic instead of the old bi-metal. There is a drop in current and they can't pull enough to operate the old style flasher.

If I disconnect the brake light line, the tail light starts working. As soon as I connect the brake light wire, no running light. But if I hit the brake, the brake light will work, but no tail light....got it? So if I test each light independently, it works. But when I hook it all up, no tail light. I've confirmed my color codes a dozen times and also tried others just in case...no good.
I also hooked up the original brick light and it works perfectly.
I hope there's a fix for this cause I've tried everything I can think of and I'm stumped. I'm starting to think the light has a wire crossed somewhere.

Have you tried a Diode inline with the running and brake lamps, thinking it may be back feeding causing cancelation, just a theory.( I know there already LED but I'd try it.)
