Do you have a service manual?
Yeah I do.

Look at the electrical section and the wiring diagrams, follow the turn signal circuit and look for all the plug connections. IF it isn't anything obviously disconnected, you are going to need a voltmeter or test light to see where you have power in that circuit and where you don't. Follow it along, find power here, power there, uh oh no powere here, you know the problem is between the point you are and the last point you had power at.

Yep I have a volt meter. I'll figure it out. Might be a moot point though... New bike may be in the garage by the weekend. Not going to say what it is yet, but my current bike might be going bye bye.

Honda's VFR 750 was Cycle World's best street 750 for at least a decade. Power right off idle, fine gear whine from the gear-driven cams, and a centerstand. Why get anything else?

Oh, for the turnsignals, if the fuse is good and the wire connections are good, the turn signal relay is probably at fault. There's usually no voltmeter resistance test for the relay.

Update. Its not the flasher or the switch. When I turn the hazards on, the flasher come on for a 10th of a second then stop working. If I turn them off wait a few minutes and turn on the signals they work normally until i try to turn the flasher on again. It has something to do with the flashers coming on. As long as I don't use the hazards, the tun signals work normally. I must have accidentally hit the hazard button yesterday and thats why the turn signals were not working. Very weird problem.
