hi , i have the same model bike as you and came across this problem a few months ago , have you tried checking the brake pedal connector

daz1984 · 07-12-2009, 05:51 PM

it is both the front and back brake

niall6192 · 07-12-2009, 05:55 PM

to be honest the only other thing i can think of is that where the front brake lever is , underneath you will see two metal sensor pins , and on these there should be some rubber cable that slides on to each of them are they attached ?

Might be time to get a meter and check each component.

What do you meant he bulb seems fine? Did you try a different one? I had a wire break off inside the light socket once that needed to be soldered back on also. Might want to check that.

it was two wires had got damaged and sheared through so just reconnected them all is good now but still have no left indicator weird

Perhaps the indicator bulb itself is out? I need to open up the box with my indicators because the hi-beam indicator has not worked in some time. I am hoping its just a bulb, but I really want to change them to LED's anyway.
