XR650R tail light

[Tuffers]

Hi there

I hope someone might be able to help after several frustrating hours in the garage. I'm in the middle of cleaning up my XR650R for the winter and thought I'd have a look at why the tail light is permenantly on when the engine is running as it doesn't seem right when it should be switched.

Does anyone have any advice or is it meant to be wired to be on all the time.

Thanks

Matt

Hi Matt

Mine turns off when I turn the lights off. Is the stop light switch stuck on?

Hi David
Thanks for the reply. No the stoplight isn't stuck on because if I disconnect the wires to the stoplight switches the light remains on. Also when the front/rear brake is operated thesecond filament in the bulb lights up.

Electrics really aren't my thing and I thought this would be an easy fix!!

Will have to try and trace the wiring and compare to the wiring diagram.

Thanks

Matt
