Rear running/brake lights failing
Written by humpthegrump on 7/6/2011 at 12:21 am

Sounds like maybe your Regulator is kaput and you have an overvoltage
condition.

Get a voltage reading while the bike is in neutral at both idle and about 3k
rpm. Should be no more than 14v.

If you keep riding it without fixing it your battery will be damaged (if it
isn't already) and you may burn up your wiring.

In the end it will be alright. If it is not alright, then it is not yet the
end!

Subject: PC800: Rear running/brake lights failing



Help...getting the bike ready and ran into what I thought was just a burned
out bulb problem. Now, 2 days, wire harness check and some soldering, 6
bulbs....still burning them out for some reason. Random one side or the
other. All fuses check out. Any help is great. Cant really see going down
the highway with no active brake lights and am now running out of time and
ideas.

Thought I had it all doing good. Took it on a road test and came back to
burned out again. One bulb stays on and hot so atleast I do have some rear
light coverage but....help. I really just want to get it fixed.
