Bandit 1200 K4 tail lights and all indicator lights not working, head lamp and brake lights are working. I rigged a wire to a brown lead in head lamp and to a brown lead near the fuse box at the rear and it all works, except when the indicators are on ,the tail lights flicker. My mechanical and electrical knowledge is not as good as I would like.

Hi, the brake light is separate. Your fuses are ok coz you rigged up the wire by-pass right?and you got your tail & flashers back. h/light works but not the rear, that means you have a continuity break in the wiring loom somewhere between the points where you connected that temporary wire.Check for loose/dirty earth(s), broken or pinched wiring & poor connections and failed relays.Check for continuity with a multimeter if you have one.Advise not to 'hot wire' could cause further damage!
