Light issue on back of bike

[tfinlay]

Does the signal lights on the back of a 1986 Yamaha venture royal also act as marker lights? If so they are not coming on as park lights, only as signal lights. Some help is needed please.

It's been a while since I've messed with them, but I think they are signal and emergency only, and not constant running lights.

On the 2nd gen. they are signal and hazard only. I doubt that they were different on the 1st gen.

Also, if they are amber, you'd have to change them to red to have them as running lights. I also like having more light back there, so I converted mine (2nd Gen RSV) to running/brake/turn with products from Custom Dynamics.

Thread below details changing them to running lights.

The rear turn signals use a single element 1156 bulb so stock is turn signal only.

 

I just grabbed a couple bulb holder and harness used on the front turn signals (1157 bulbs) and wired them as rear turn signal with a "T" off the rear running lights to act as lower intensity markers. Careful, some states don't like amber running on the rear.
