Hi I'm glad to see so many K100 owners who shares their experience!
Well, here is my issue:
My brake light is always ON. I have the Clymer service repair maintenance manual which kind of helped me for troubleshooting, but I found it weak in regard with electrical snags.
Here is the trouble shooting that I have performed so far but now I'm stuck:
1- when I start the engine, the brake warning light is on (normal), and with only the pressure of the rear brake pedal, the warning light flashes, (not normal) should require the front brake action.
2- Removing fuse F1, and brake light stays on. (not normal)
3- Emergency engine cut off swith at off, brake light stays on. (not normal)
4- Remove bulb monitoring unit, brake light stays on. (not normal, I think)
5- Turn ignition swith to park position, brake light goes off (normal)
I'm thinking to open and give good inspection inside the bulb monitoring unit and if required resolder any defective solder joints, but I'm sure that this will not fix my problem.
Any of you have an idea of how to rectify this problem. I'm so proud riding this bike but this is a safety hazard issue.
Regards
PS please excuse me if you find error in the text, but I'm a good living French Canadian...lol
