Is it possible someone threw in some LED bulbs and then didn’t complete the conversion with the required diode. Pull all the bulbs, if there are any LEDs that’s likely your problem. To complete the conversion, lots of bikes require the indicator ( dash ) light wiring to be snipped and a diode such as this.

The reason is that the incandescent dash bulb is back fed from the turn signal bulb, so that you can tell if a turn signal bulb is blow. Because the dash light won’t work. But if LEDs are used there is no backfeed as LEDs are a diode. If there are no LEDs installed check the dash indicator bulb itself.
> When I set the blinker to left, they all blink. When I set the blinker to right, they all blink. Basically, once i turn the blinkers on any direction they just all blink. At a normal rate. I just ordered a diode kit thinking that might solve the issue? https://www.amazon.com/Kuryakyn-4709-Diode-Kit/dp/B000TK7XMY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
