First issue, turn signals...check the turn signal relay and also check the switch on handlebar. May have to open the case up and clean the switch contacts well. Lube with electrical grease.
Second, running issue...if you are at full choke and have to warm it up for more than 5 minutes, your carbs slow circuit is probably clogged. The only good way to fix it is to remove carbs and rebuild them or have them professionally redone. If not at full choke (or enrichment), try full. If you can’t take off without keeping choke on, your slow circuit is definitely to blame.
Get a genuine Honda manual. That will be more help than you can imagine!
