    I noticed that my tail light will not turn on, but it only comes on when I press the brake. I've tried several different 1157 bulbs. I noticed that on the Dash the "Taillight" warning comes on and stays on. Is there a problem with the fuse or is there some wiring horror that I'll have to deal with.


    2nd problem
    My licence plate light is burned out and I've tried several GE.67 bulbs but no luck.

    check fuse?

    My taillight warning light is a little funky on my bike too.
    It comes on when I first turn the ignition on then it shuts off.
    You might check the fuse.
    I would replace the license plate light as well, that might be causing the warning light to come on.

    Ok so I replaced the fuse on the tail light 15A as recommended by the manual, but now I have a new problem, all my Signal lights stay on

    I've tried both 10A and 15A, same results.

    So I have no clue why its doing that.

    Do the turns still work as needed? Does the taillight work now? License plate light?

    Having the signals on as running lights is normal.
