  1. It was the bulb..

    I want to thank you guys a ton. I've been up and down forums trying to figure this out and you guys are the only ones to continuously answer my questions and continue to suggest things.

    Beers on me if you guys are ever in Wayne county.

  2. So I CANNOT find this part secondhand online. I called our local Honda shop... $141 dollars for that little bastard.

    NOW, its got me wondering. Again, because I'm a dumbass, I put an LED bulb in my tailight a week ago. I never noticed my stoplight running, but I've been dealing with a charging system problem so I wonder if I just overlooked it, I haven't really been running the bike.

    Is it possible for the lack of power draw from the led bulb in the back to trigger the stop light as it thinks my tailight is out?... Testing to follow, I just want to keep you guys in the loop. If this whole problem was cause by an LED bulb I'm probably going to break down in tears lol

  3. Ahhhh! Fuck yeah! So I unplugged the stop light module and turned the key over and the oil light is on. This is normal. So, I start the bike and the light goes off! I turn the bike off and the light turns back off! I have no idea what that little module does or why its been making my life hell, but I KNOW I have pressure from burping the filter, and the switch is clearly responding to the oil pressure by turning off when I start the bike. Im going to replace the module, but you guys think I'm safe for a ride around town?

  4. And if we get this fixed I'll have to ride out your way with my county-wide famous "Dusty's Dust" hot pepper powder as a Thank You. I've got the 2014 WORLD record hottest pepper's this year. All heat, very little effect on flavor ???? it's sensational.

  5. I had noticed it too. There's four wires that run into a little module that controls the 'stop warning light". Now, as I already tested the light is delayed to turn on when I turn the bike one with the wire disconnected. I think what is happening is that the circuit IS open, but the module all the wires run through go "oh something's wrong here" and turns the light on so I know to address the problem.

    I did check my brake lights front, back and even neutral light. All functional.

    I wanted to reroute the wore and see, but it appears to go from the bulb to the sensor on one wire, and then from the bulb to the stop module off the other. I don't know where to run the line from as a start point.

  6. Frustrated you can fix. Broke? Well, that's why you're doing this the hard way. One day, you won't be broke and you'll still possess the knowledge to fix your own shit.

    Or, you'll be perfectly fine with paying someone to fix your motorcycle, because you don't NEED to do it yourself.

    Either way, greener grass is coming. You must have to keep at it. Chin up, man. You own a motorcycle. That is pretty fucking awesome. :)

    Thanks, man! Hellbent on doing this "myself". Hopefully this is the last thing I NEED to do this season.

  7. Thanks for the reinforcement. Its literally my dream bike and it fell in my lap, the previous owner kinda pulled one over on me. I paid 1,500 cash and have sunk more than 500 in parts I to it. None of the parts were guesswork, it needed them all. Its been three months and I've put 12 miles on it. I'm just frustrated and broke. I really think the switch is bad though. Should be here sometime next week.
