Running Lights not working was created by CafeKid
So my running lights (front turns, back turns, and rear tail) all don't light up when then ignition is turned on. The turn signals and the brake light work though when engaged. Any suggestions? Thanks

The front running lights and headlight should come on, when the ignition is on, along with the rear tail light. You only have turn signals in the rear, as they are single filament , unlike the front signals, which have dual filiments.

Here's a color code for the turn signals, front running lights & tail light:
Color Codes On Most Kawasaki’s (written for 1980’s bikes)

HEADLIGHT
RED with BLACK stripe, High Beam.
RED with YELLOW stripe, Low Beam.
BLACK with YELLOW stripe, the ground circuit.

BRAKE/TAIL LIGHT Can be an # 1157 dual filament bulb
RED, Running or Tail Light.
BLUE,(sometimes with a Red stripe) Brake Light Circuit.
BLACK with YELLOW stripe, the ground circuit.

LEFT FRONT TURN SIGNAL Can be an #1157 dual filament bulb
GREEN, Left front turn signal circuit.
BLUE, Left front running light circuit.
BLACK with YELLOW stripe, the ground circuit.

RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL Can be an # 1157 dual filament bulb
GREY, Right front turn signal circuit.
BLUE, Right front running light circuit.
BLACK with YELLOW stripe, the ground circuit.

LEFT REAR TURN SIGNAL Can be an #1156 single filament bulb
GREEN, Left rear turn signal circuit.
BLACK with YELLOW stripe, the ground circuit.

RIGHT REAR TURN SIGNAL Can be an #1156 single filament bulb
GREY, Right rear turn signal circuit.
BLACK with YELLOW stripe, the ground circuit.

If the front running, headlight, and tail light are not coming on when the key is turned, check the glass tubed fuses, as one or more may have failed internally, but look good. I have a habit of replacing all of my bike's fuses each year. AGX is the size of fuse, usually available at auto parts stores, or boating supply places. I suspect 10,15, and maybe 20 amp fuses are what you'll need.
