As above. When i touch the back brake it blows the 7.5A fuse.
Can anyone shed any light on the cause.
 
Have you done any mods ie indicators or
tail tidy sounds like possible a trapped
Wire or a wire going to ground, check
Seal around light make sure it's ok
as moisture might be getting in. Hope this
is of some help
 
Ok, so it turns out that the back brake light switch had corroded, and was blowing the fuse every time i hit the brake. Shame it happened on the M4 100 miles from home at midnight :mad:

Myself and the dealer were both surprised that it could have corroded after only 6 months and 3000 miles!!

May want to check yours and give it some acf50 action.
 
No pics sorry.
As the bike is my only means of transport,they isolated it so the back light worked, and only came on using the front brake,so i could have the bike back.
It's the connections that corroded. It's obviously a warranty claim,and it's the first one they've had.
