21 SGS. This may have always been this way but I noticed when sitting with Accessory on, not ignition the front running lights come on when brake depressed. LED lights front and rear. Thanks

Just went and checked, in the garage with acc position, bike off, the front turn signals are not on. I do have the regular bulbs in the turn signals. Not the leds.
on my Chevy pick up though, I swapped the rear lights to leds, which are on a can bus system, they have a bleed through when off which is weird. They constantly look very slightly lit.

Thanks for checking. Did you hit the brakes when in acc position? That is when the front running lights come on as well.

Thanks for checking again. Much appreciated. Well now I need to figure out why the front running lights are coming on. Probably a resistance issue I bet.

You have a 21 - unless you changed something, why not let the dealer figure it out.

They are aftermarket LED lights. I'll have to swap the incandescent lights back and check it first.
