Ok so I redid some of the crappy wiring job the guy I bought the bike from did on the rear turn signals and while doing so I realized that the front brake handle didn't trigger the brake light. Anyone know which of the wires from the wiring harness is for the front brake?

There are essentially the wiring harness for the rear light (all those are intact from what I can tell) then there are an orange (I think that was the left blinker HOT wire) then a green which was ground for both right and left belinkers and then a blue which was the left blinker HOT wire.

I also noticed that there are two wires that were not connected to anything. One was brown and then another green with a stripe on it. Both of these have the spade wire connector still on them.

So, I would assume the front brake trigger is attached to the wiring harness that plugs into the rear brake light, but now I have no idea which isn't working. I plan to test it with a foltage meeter tonight to see which throws it power when the front handle is pulled, but since I am at work right now I figured I might as well ask.

 

Anyone got an idea on this?

 

Did you look at the front brake switch itself? its on the underside of the throttle housing and has to metal tabs hanging out that the wires go on individually. They often come loose if people drop the bike, or sometimes get popped off when people tie them down to trailer.

 

Thanks for the info, I'll check the contacts first thing in the morning.

 

Front brake light switch wire is BLACK/BROWN should be hanging under the front brake lever

Back brake is also BLACK/BROWN then follow the wiring to the plug in the harnes and it changes over to GREEN/YELLOW

All solid Greens on the CBR are Ground / Earth

these wires should be somewhere in the region of the rear brake slave cyl' hope this helps fella
