Hello all.

Wow thanks again for warm welcome. The problem I am having is the brake light does not work, at all. I could see one switch being bad, but neither the front lever or the rear lever will make the light work. It has an aftermarket clear lense with red bulbs. Anyway, I check the fuses, all of them, and could not find any bad wiring or find anything unplugged. I am not getting voltage to the bulb socket. I did check the bulbs, both visually and have good continuity. What else can I check or where else should I look? As new as this bike is, it has to be something simple I am overlooking.

 don't listen to that other dude, black is the fastest, but anyway; just ask about your problem and you'll get the help you need.

Be safe and enjoy. Nice chrome triple tree, and gauges. Did you get the rear stand in the deal. I noticed the swingarm spools for it.
I tried to get the stand, but the previous owner told the dealer told he would not give it up. The bike is lowered and sits dangerously close to center when on the stand. I need to take about an inch out of the side stand.

In there is a wiring diagram, it may help you trace down the problem.
