With the bike running you were getting 11.6?
What happens when you do the same test on the battery itself, with the bike running?
*NOTE: This is an aside - not focused on your blinker short, which you have...

I got 12.6 volts off and 13.6 while running from the battery.
I have been testing ohms on ground connections from battery and following the wires. At the battery negative I get 0.3 ohms at best. Then when I get to the harness part under the gas tank beside the neon green connectors I got 1.0 ohms.
Where is the rear ground?
It seems to be the wires in the cable running next to the air filter. I get 1.0 ohms near there
