yeah i checked that but there are only 5 fuses and none of them are blown or even for the brake lights. Is there another spot where there are fuse boxes? I couldnt imagine them putting them behind the fairings or anything that hard to find would they?

not for the signals.. check the bulbs or wiring.... is it just when u hit brakes in rear.. check the foot lever and adjust it it's black and it screws for brakelight, and same with front there is a connection that it's got to make, check that

well no the brake lights dont go on at all. If i hit the front brake or rear brake. The tail lights work but the brake lights dont. I dont get it. You think it could be an electrical problem? I have no idea what screw your talking about cuz this is my first bike and I really know nothing about bikes. I had my friend and my father look at the fuses and the wiring but they cant figure it out either.

Have you checked the bulbs yet? Make sure they are the right ones and not a sinlge filiment or half are blown....The screw he is talking about is at the brake lever like a button or contact to actrivate the lights.....

no the bulbs are fine. I checked the brake lever switch andthat seems to be fine but who knows. I gotta take it in for a tune up so i'll have them look at it. you just spin that contact thing? well what about for the front brakes is it the same kinda thing?
