Sounds like the regulator/rectifier may be goiing bad. This is the motorcycle equivalent of a cars alternator. have it checked/tested by a professionl or yourself if you know how to do it.

Are you working on turn signals or head light? Blinkers going too far because there isn't enough of a load on the circuit. Burnt bulb in the front, or a wire not hooked up, maybe that's why they don't work and the back are going real fast. If you are putting in LED bulbs, without a resistor thwy qill not load the flaher enough either, and it will flash very quickly. As for color of the wire, usually you can Google wire diagrams for specific vehicles.
Check the battery voltage when the engine is running. It sounds as if the regulator has failed. Also check the earth lines on the bike and make sure they are tight and clean.
Almost always, your described problem indicates a loose or no ground connection of the brake light socket (most likely) or missing IGN + 12 (least likely). If the turn signals and/or the fuel gauge works, then the latter is unlikely as they share the same IGN+12 supply line. These might interest you:

I have a 92 katana and I think it takes 5w but I'm not sure. It does say what weight to use right on the cap, clean it up and check me before adding anything.
