hey guys hows it going? i just bought a r6 and it seemed to start a few times normally and now it does not start, the left signal is working fine, but the right hand signal front stays on but the back flickers really fast, even if i put jumpers on it, it started then died out asoon as i took them off, and wouldnt start again, anyone know what the problem could be? thanks in advance.

Could be as simpel as the battery, have it tested.

do you have any idea if it could be the starter or something?

I don't think it's your starter because you said that you managed to start it a couple of times and that it died after it ran. Looking at your personal information, I asume you are a new rider and just bought the bike this year. The bike is from '99 and even if it is its second battery over the years, batteries don't last for ever. (and the signal lights thing sounds more like an electrical problem) So, take the battery out, bring it to a dealer and ask them to test it.
Good luck.
