hey everyone, alright so i replaced my rear brake lens with an aftermarket led lens from crappy tire. i hooked it up to see if it would work. the light only shined solid red. so i hooked up another wire that was in the same socket(3wires...power, ground and??) because b4 i only had constant power. and when i touched the brake lever nothing came on. so again i hooked up the 3rd wire and when i did i touched the brake lever 4 times and it flashed. but as soon as i hit the lever a 5th time the bike lost COMPLETE power ...now i got no idea where to start. can someone tell me where i can find fuses on the bike or resisters. what could cause the who bike to lose power?? thankyou sooo mush.

Perhaps you have the wrong replacement...

Anyway, there is but one fuse. Well, there is a second one, but it's the spare. Under the side cover, by your right knee. Take off seat, take off plastic. The fuse that you should be able to see stuck in a rubber cover (if it's there) is the spare. The fuse in use is inside the rubber cover.

thanx! i checked that one. its fine. now what?!?!?an oh man this sux! anyother ideas?

Start at the battery. Make extra sure that you really checked the fuse in use - thousands have been thrown off by the spare fuse, which is just fine. You cannot see the fuse that is in use until you have pulled the rubber cover up/off.

There really is only the one fuse, so you either have a dead battery, or a blown fuse, or you fried something else without blowing the fuse (ie, ignition switch - or you forgot to turn the ignition switch on in the frenzy of checking other stuff).

Grab a voltmeter and start looking for problems. Your description of how you hooked up the brake light certainly raises the thought that you might have shorted out one of the light circuits by haphazard hooking up of wires you didn't bother to trace and identify. Or borrrow a voltmeter and someone who understands circuits to run it, then buy them a beer or 6 (after the job is done, not during or before).

okay man i really thank u! ill try to have a closer look. again thanx alot
