New bikes don't need inspection. But your advice on the wiring is good. Anyway, the turn signals work without even running the engine. Just turn on the key and push the turn signal selector right or left.
I only say this because I think anyone that gets a new bike checks lights before driving it. Notthatfast did! Bulbs can fail, or other issues can happen. But if the lights on the back were reversed (or failed for any reason) and the driver didn't bother to check, there is a Darwin award in the making!
Too bad you were interrupted by the rain. If the connectors are crimped, you will have to cut them and either strip/connect/electrical tape, or get some shrouded connectors and a crimper and make them like OEM.
My wiring bundle behind the light really flopped around badly when I road it first time, so I put a couple of long zip strips around it and snugged it up on something stable (It may have been the frame, or headlamp assembly... can't remember). But as long as you are in there, not a bad idea to secure that wiring bundle.
