Z1B IDIOT BRAKE LIGHT

#1 PostAuthor: PAULJAC47 » Sun Dec 07, 2008 3:07 pm

Hi All,,,,Can anyone clarify what the brake idiicator light on a Z1B actually does? On my A4 it comes on when you pull front brake.Is it the same on the B or is it a brake lamp failure indicator if so how is this wired? Thanks in anticipation to any replies and thanks for all the input i am getting with other jobs on the bike.

It comes on when you brake, to show the bulb is OK :wink:
It STAYS on when the bulb is not working (whether due to a blow bulb or wiring fault.. etc). :shock:
