Do you have brake lights when stepping on the rear brake?

Ditto. I would guess you have a stuck rear brake light switch or defective switch. Check for brake lights when pushing the pedal.

no back brake or front left blinker, thought the blinker was a bulb issue but it lights up when I turn bike off. Strange.

Front bulb is dual element lamp i believe. may have 1 element (turn signal part not running part) out. Rear brake switch is stuck or defective.
