SOURCE: Signal lights on R1 don't work...

Though I can't recall what the wire colors are for your bike's turn signals, here's how to figure it out: on the turn signals that you bought, first determine which wire is the ground by removing the light bulb and then checking to see which wire has continuity to the turn signal's metal bulb socket base.
Then find out which wire is the running light and which is the turn signal by hooking the ground wire and one of the other wires to a 12 volt power source. Which ever wire makes the brighter part of the bulb light up is the turn signal - the dimmer one is for the running light.
On the bike, match the turn signal wire to the bike's wiring that is 'hot' with the turn signal switch on. Plug the running light wire from the turn signal into the bike's wiring that is 'hot' whever the key is on. Hook the turn signal ground wire to the bike's ground wire(s).

Testimonial: "Thanks so much. Your advice about checking which wires are "hot" with key on or signal on makes perfect sense."

SOURCE: 1995 yamaha blows more exhaust on the left side than the right

Assuming the bike idles smoothly and is not smoking you can pretty well rule out bad valves and piston rings. If the air filter is clean then intake should be okay. Are the valves set properly? Is the decompression lever and valve working properly? I assume there is not mud plugging up the pipe. That pretty much leaves the muffler on the right side having an internal collapse and is restricting the flow of exhaust gases. Remove the mufflers and see if the pressures are equal at the head. If the problem is still there then have the shop do a compression check. It is possible a ring has broken or is frozen in the ring groove. This would let some compression into the gear box and account for the lower exhaust pressure. I hope this helps.

Brand new yamaha xt 250, ( just bought it today ) left turn indicator is burning for no reason. (not using turn signal, its just staying on) Is there an easy way to tell whats going on?

Your bike has running lights...in other words both front signal flashers should be on, but dimmer than when you use turn signals..So the issue is not why the left side is on but rather why why the right side is not lit also.
If you remove the right side bulb...you will see it has 2 filaments....one for running light, one for turn signal. Check the bulb. Try swapping the left and right bulbs and see if the right side now works...if it still doesn't...have the wiring connector checked. Does the turn signal work fine on the right side...this proves the ground is fine.
The bulbs on the back are turn signal only, and use a single filament bulb.
Since it is a new machine your dealer should address the problem free I would think.

Turn signal light staying on in front driver side and back turn signal light blinking too fast on driver side in back. All bulbs good.

Double check your front drivers side bulb sounds to me like the bulb is bad. It may look ok but could be bad. You might try swapping bulbs between the right and left front lights to test it. If the problem moves to the other side then you've found your problem. Good luck.

Turn signal

Check the earthing of the left hand side blinkers first both front and rear, since the right hand side is functioning we can rule out tht the flasher unit is ok.
Not bad too to check the bulbs of the left side blinkers if they are of the required voltage and watts both front and rear.
Hope this helps!
