I noticed my rear running lights on my gen 1 weren't working today. I checked the bulbs they looked good. Single filament. The new set of oem flashers I have on hand have 2 filament bulbs. Hmmm The blinkers still work.

Mine has a tail light, on whenever the bike runs. Gen 2. But the turn signals are off until I used them. ??? Seems about right to me.

Your signal lights are Yellow and you can't have Yellow running lights on the rear, nor would you want to. It would be a lot simpler to just add some red led lights and tap into your tail light wire.

I've fitted Yamahas' own LED turn/running lights to my gen.1. The bottom half of the fronts are white, the rear red and are connected into the brake light wiring for extra brake lights. Not cheap, but worth it.
I have definatly noticed that car drivers are more aware of me when filtering/lane splitting (legal in the UK)
