Hey everyone,
Replaced a coil last week, and today I have 2 brand new electrical problems on my 81 KZ 750. I imagine one will bring some ridicule my way...
First off, My front turn signals have ceased to work as operating lights. I checked the wiring connections in the headlight, and they are all good. Any Ideas? I'm a novice.

The Second I am not as concerned about, it is really rather silly, my "Dummy" fuel light which used to go on about 15 miles before reserve was needed now goes on about a second after my engine begins struggling with a lack of Gas. I can learn to deal with this, but would rather have it work right.

While I am at it, has anyone successfully converted their rear turn signals to running lights/signals? Thanks,
Mike

Just did mine a while back.Stole the running-light power fron the tail light,and good to go.I'm using L.E.D.'s(red ones on the back) and they are bright!WAY more visible back there.
And now,when I turn my key all the way over to the right(2 clicks) I get not only the tail-light on,but also the 2 markers.Great visibility at night,if and when I have to pull over to the side of the road.When I turn on the hazards,it lights up the entire area around me.

YES. I simply bought a set of front turn signal assembly sockets (the dual contact ones) and installed them in the rear turn signal housings and wired the lower wattage filament wires to +12V light wiring. The turn signal wires hook up the same.
