elctrical problem zong 200 little help

Hello people and hope you enjoy your bikes, now i have a weird problem with my zongshen 200gy and maybe you know something more,
well the problem is that about 2 months now when pressing the front break the rear light did not work, that ok i said i will fix it in the future. but i notice now that when pressing and the back break the rear light does not work.
Wait you will say :the light is ok because when i have the night lights on the standard light is lighting and im asking if it any fuse or the cdi?[/u]

Look closely at the rear brake pedal. There will be a switch near it that activates the brake light when you push the pedal. Make sure it is adjusted correctly to activate the light. Make sure the bulb is good also.

Okay. Start with the bulb. It has two filaments. One for the taillight and one for the brake light.

If the bulb is good then I would test the switches and check all the connections.

I agree completely with both gentlemen. To fix the front brake light, I would check the electrical connection behind the headlight. To fix the rear brake light I would check the tail light bulb, the electrical connections under the saddle, and the rear brake light switch.

yes the light bulb was burned on 1 filament, you can stop laughing at me now because it was night and could not see it very well, now in the morning was clear, thank you very much.
but when pressing the front break it still does not work, probably is the wiring because when i turn the steering at right position and pressing the front brake it light the rear bulb, on neutral and on left it does not, so somewhere it looses connection and i have to change wire but to do that i have to disassemble all the bike to find the wire.
Any way the baby was crying last light so my message was very quick and i hope understandable thank you for the info.

Anyway administrator if you want you can delete this post.

I'm glad you found the extinguished tail light bulb, George. Remove the headlight shroud, and check the electrical connection for the front brake switch; it's located inside the rubber boot.

Consider an LED replacement for the 1157 filament bulb. These little bikes vibrate a lot and consume bulbs, the LED should last forever and use less electricity in the process.
