What have you done on your bike today?

[Markduc]

Today i had a look into why my brake light isn't working, electrics are not my strong point but the brake switch should be a walk in the park right!! No, i've gone through the wiring diagram that shows the brake light wires go to the fuse box. I went through all the fuses with another fuse and nothing, i've got a brand new bulb in there because the old one was blown on the brake light filament. Gone through the wires and checked just about everything that would cause the brake light to stop working!! Before i had it MOTd two weeks ago to the day the brake light was fine, i even checked the brand new bulb and that is fine. I'll have another go at it tomorrow, it's like my horn that worked fine then two days before the MOT it stopped working so had to get a new one, it's smaller than the standard one but 10 times as loud!!

You’ve obviously angered one of the gods

Maybe a sacrifice would appease them , beating the tail light with a hammer, if that doesn’t work then burn it at midnight while chanting hary Krishna’s

 

[Loz]

I have to say ... I don't believe Wayne has angered just one single pantheon of gods.

Based upon what I read here, it's the entire god class that has it in for him.

 

[WAYNE]

Can you disconnect the two wires, (I'm assuming it only has two ?) or plug from the switch & short the two wires together ?
If the brake light illuminates then the fault is with the actual switch, if the light doesn't illuminate then the fault is elsewhere. That's normally the best/easiest place to start.

I shall try that tomorrow, cheers.

Second post has a link that may help , I’m guessing it’s about same year ish as yours

I shall try that tomorrow, cheers.

Wayne,

Are you checking the wiring with a multimeter to confirm power and continuity?, much easier to chase faults down with one imho.

A cheap one from Amazon is good enough, no need to go out on the bike and risk an accident or fine due no brake light.

I have a multimeter and will go through it all tomorrow. Not in the mood today and fancied a chill day.

Did you check the slot for the brake fuse itself in case it has green furred up?

 

[Markduc]

Did you trim the wick and check the acetylene

Went through all the fuses and will have a proper look at the switch tomorrow. It's meant to be pissing down here tomorrow so nothing better to do.

 

[Mr Bimble]

Could be some dodgy carbide.. probably best to check the quality by feeding some to the seagulls and see if they explode.

 

[Dox]

Maybe it’s fucked

Went out with my Tuesday group, got to the meeting place (Oldcotes) to receive a phone call from our gert to tell me the house alarm was going off and she couldn’t stop it . Anyhoo, rushed home, turned it off at the first attempt, then called a mate to come help me decommision it, which he did and without resorting to using any axes.

Went for a bimble on the BM early evening. It pissed it down, here are a couple of photties.

Looks like the BM has had a wash?

Not in recent weeks

Rain innit

Not my bike but since public transport on the Amalfi coast is hit and miss, here is our machine for this week

Is it a Nero? Not glossy black.

The seat looks nero.

Neither

Chinese Nero , same but different, would have liked this one

Took the long way around from Maiori up the mountain, crossing through many little villages and ending up spending the afternoon in Ravello, anyone else been there? If you visit the Amalfi Coast please don’t miss out on Ravello, it’s the winner by far, the Cimbrone and Rufalo villa’s and garden are mind blowing, just so beautiful

Looks perfect

Wayne, make sure you check the voltage output of your stator while the bike is running. I had a bad battery once that would cause random electrical items to fail but never blew a fuse and the starter always worked. Replaced the battery and all the mystery issues went away. Good luck finding and fixing your issue

Finally an actual Nero?

It is, for a place so far south in Italy the weather has been a bit off, I heard Scotland is the place to be these days
