This shouldn't happen, you can't get the starter to rotate w/out the clutch lever held in. check the clutch safety.

Drive should be on. And with the key in park, only the tail light or license plate light should be on.
Quote:I was able to jump-start the bike but I now have rapid flashers (Blue Collar Bobber bullets, not stock).
Standard incandescent lights? Then one of the lamps are out.
LED's will cause it to flash quickly unless you have an electronic flasher.
