Hi Mr. rocko9290,

Check a wiring diagram (CLICK HERE for a wiring diagram and the service manual is available on my little website) and go through a process of elimination. If you are still using the stock flasher (turn signal relay) then you need to make sure you are using the proper bulbs. The stock wiring wants to see a specific load in order for the blinkers to work properly.

Anyway, let me dump a TON of information on you and share some GS850G lovin'.
