Rear brake pedal switch

8The switch is mounted on the inside of the right-hand footrest bracket (see illustration). Remove the right-hand frame side panel (see Chapter 8) and disconnect the switch wiring at the connector.

9 Detach the lower end of the switch spring from the brake pedal, then unscrew and remove the switch

10Installation is the reverse of removal.

Make sure the brake light is activated just before the rear brake pedal takes effect. If adjustment is necessary, hold the switch and turn the adjusting ring on the switch body until the brake light is activated as required.

12 Turn signal circuit- check

1 The battery provides power for operation of the turn signal lights, so if they do not operate, always check the battery voltage first. Low battery voltage indicates either a faulty battery or a defective charging system. Refer to Section 3 for battery checks and Sections 30 and 31 for charging system tests. Also, check the fuse which feeds the tail light, signal, brake light and horn circuit (see Section 5) and the switch (see Section 24).

2 Most turn signal problems are the result of a failed bulb or corroded socket. This is especially true when the turn signals function properly in one direction, but not in the other. Check the bulbs and the sockets (see Section 13).

3 If the bulbs and sockets are good, remove the seat cowling (see Chapter 8) for access to the turn signal relay which is mounted on the right-hand side of the frame (see illustration).Disconnect the wiring connector then switch the ignition ON and check for voltage at the wiring connector black/brown terminal.

4 If there is voltage at the terminal, check the grey wire between the relay and the turn signal switch for continuity and the green earth wire for continuity. If the wiring is good, renew the relay.

5 If there is no voltage at the relay black/brown wire terminal, check the wiring between the connector and the fuse (see wiring diagrams at the end of this Chapter).

13 Turn signal bulbs-

test and renewal

1 Remove the screw on the back of the turn signal body securing the signal lens and

11 Brake light switches-

check and replacement

Circuit check

1Before checking any electrical circuit, check the bulb (see Section 9) and fuse which feeds the tail light, signal, brake light and horn circuit (see Section 5).

2 Using a multimeter or test light connected to a good earth (ground), with the ignition ON check for voltage at the black/brown wire terminal on the brake light switch wiring connector with the lever/pedal at rest. If
