Default dumb electrical question on flasher

Ok so basically when the bike runs the flashers are lit as running lights,
my right flasher doesnt, but it does flash when I ask him to do so.

So is it a short ?

Are you running the Aux. running Lt./ brake Lt / turn signal conversion kit or are the signal/running light you described come factory on the wg? If so maybe the kit is the problem?

A short means you are attempting to put 12V directly to ground; ergo you are putting out maximum battery amperage through some wire.

So, a short = blown fuse.

If there is no fuse to blow, then a short = call the fire department because your bike is on fire
