Welcome to the forum. The GZ riders are among the most supporting folks you will ever find online.

As for the LED's you will find(as mentioned)an electronic flasher is all you need to make the signals work properly. The front signals also serve as running lights whenever the bike is running. The rear act as signals only. The front will have a 3 wire hook-up and the rear a 2 wire hook-up.

The reason(so I've read) is the amber color of the rear lights. Only red can be used as an always on rear light.

So the bike has been down. Stuff happens all the time. I have only had one bike that I never dropped. That was back in 1978. My present bike, a 2014 Honda CTTX700 has already been down once. Just last week in my living room. Previous to that my 2005 Vstrom650 was down once a year for 7 years. First drop was a week after I bought it new in 2005 as a retirement gift from me to me. I deserved it. It was a wonderful bike and served me well.
