I was taking my rear end apart last night to put on a eliminator kit, and after I was done, the brake light is no longer working. Anyone have any idea what's going on? This is on a 2002 f4i. I didn't even touch the brake light wiring. Does the brake not work when the bike is on a rear stand? The only wire I disconnected was for the license plate light. Thanks for the help in advance.

 

your brake light?? or your tailight?? if the tail light is working and not the brake light, sounds like a brake light switch..otherwise check your fuses.

 

taillight is working, but when i apply the brake, nothing happens.

 

Check your brake light switch. I believe that they are adjustable, you may have bumped it enough to where it is not making a complete circuit. You can adjust it by loosening the backup nut and screwing the switch further toward or away from the brace it is mounted on. Hope this helps.

 

Do you know where that is located on a 02 F4i?? So lost and confused...

 

the brake light switch(s) are located on the front brake lever ( underneath) and the rear brake light switch is behind the heelguards on the right side rider footpeg ( looks like a tampon with a rod sticking out the top)

 

tks for the info. I'll check it when i get back home.

 

You should hear it click when you pull the brake lever also.

 

ok...after taking a closer took, the brake light is actully on. Anyone know what that could be caused by?? Basically, the brake light is constantly on, when i'm not applying the brake.

 

this is all that i know it could be lots of luck
