Right side blinkers don't blink at the same time, and after about 3 blinks they blink fast? Also the brake light won't come in when engaged but the running light works. Any ideas why it's doing all this?

Check your bulbs and buckets and make sure they're in good condition ( both sides ) . Also have a look under the seat at the connector and make sure there is no corrosion or damage . Take a peak under the rear fender and make sure the wire housing has no damage ( Bottomed out ) .

Have done any recent work ? added led's and module ?

If the bike has an added Run/Turn/brake module connected under the seat , it could be faulty , remove it and see if there is any change . If not , check under the fender ... no break light is telling me there might be some wire damage .

The tail light is a led. The blinkers are not. The rear tire has exposed some bare wire. Gonna rewire and hope for the best.
