Rear Light
« on: 22 March 2014, 03:36:17 pm »
Afternoon all.


Liverpool losing so i have abandoned the football and looking at small problem on t'Fazer.


When starting the bike and with the lights switch in off position, there is no front light (fine) but a bright rear light.  The only thing is that when i apply the brake, both rear and front, the light barely changes intensity to register the brake.


Thoughts?  Also (and i risk sounding potentially stoopid) should the rear light be on when switch in off position?

Sounds like it could be a stuck brake switch (most likely the rear)

No stupid questions here, you're just the one who had the guts to ask!

Phew!   :D


Suspected the rear switch.  Time to get the Haynes manual out.

Give the rear brake a good clean and maybe adjust the pedal up a touch
