I just had to post a great big THANK YOU!!to the message board. You guys have helped me so much getting my bike running. In addition to my carb problems I was having trouble with my brake lights. I didn't think that they were working. So this morning I did a search on here. It seams that some guys were having the problem that their brake light was Always on. So I went out this morning and pulled the cover off my tail lights and sure enough both filiments were lit. I traced it back to the rear brake and saw that the spring was too tight and holding the switch out. A few turns of the adjusting nut and we were back in buisness.
You guys are the best!
We try. :icon_mrgreen:
Hey...I'm a newbie to the forums and to bikes actually....just got my license today and I own a Black/Silver GS500. I noticed only now that my brake light isn't working. I read here that it seems to be always on for this guy, for me since I've never seen I don't know the difference. Where is this plug or switch I need to check to see where the problem is? I'm reading about filaments too and now I'm confused. Any help you can give would be great.

There are 2 switches. The front brake switch is under the right hand lever and the rear brake switch is activated with a spring attached to the rear brake pedal.
Make sure you have good bulbs first.
