Cheers, it looks like a pain to get at on my 2012 Street Triple.

Do you have similar for the 2009-2012 models?

Kreeeee · 23 Aug 2015 at 15:30

Tail tidies are difficult here as they have to be legal. It's easier to just fix the light.

Kreeeee · 23 Aug 2015 at 22:06

You can pay £2000 to have it assessed if you want, and it might pass.

Started taking the tail apart and tested for the fault again but couldn't find it... problem solved!

Exactly. The fines are huge if you get caught being naughty too.

It's worth is though to ride here.

I would probably love it than, but its too strict when you're being a naughty boy and open it a little.

BTW I'm still jelly of all those views and twisty roads!

Well we have no points system so unless you go very far over the limit you'll never lose your licence

How far, is "far"?

BTW What's the max speed you can do in Switzerland? In the UK its 70mph and Poland is 87mph. Germany as fast as your machine can go

75mph

Argh no, the little sod is flickering again!

It looks like the problem is in the little block right by the tail light rather than the under seat.

Kreeeee · 28 Aug 2015 at 09:21

Looks like the bulb's going as I cleaned all the contacts and made sure they fit well.

Kreeeee · 28 Aug 2015 at 09:40

Cleaned all the contacts, tightened the crimps and gave it power. The light comes on fine. Wiggling all the wires causes no change but tapping the bulb lightly makes it flicker/completely turn off.

p.s. that bulb gets hot instantly!

Kreeeee · 28 Aug 2015 at 11:09

Not to try and speak to the garage in French. Joy!

I might just visit, point at the light and shout CASSE! loudly rather than struggle on the phone.

Kreeeee · 28 Aug 2015 at 21:00

New bulb fixed it. Fed up with the garage now though as he didn't want to sell me the bulb as he was 100% sure that wasn't the problem.

Kreeeee · 29 Aug 2015 at 12:48

I won't keep the bike long enough for it to be worth faffing around changing things like lights.

What are you getting next and when?

RSV4 and a zzr1200 at some point next winter. Not 100 percent on the zzr though.
