So i got some new blinkers for the front and they dont work, They are non LED type and before I wires them I hooked them directly to the battery and they turn on fine. I double checked the wiring and its correct they are single filiment and when I turn a blinker on they indicater turns on but very dim.

Did you try starting the bike and then turn them on?A week battery can cause the flasher relay to stick leaving the bulb on.The bulbs wattage may be so low it won't activate the flasher and will be dim.Here's a link that may help,but you have to read it all to understand it.

These links are different.You may need a different flasher and this tells of them.

Underneath the right sidecover.  You may see the spare first, as it is in the open, the fuse that is in use is under the rubber cover next to it, to the left.

Also, if your headlamp still works, it's not the fuse.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?
