Tail/Brake LED's out

Postby throttle » Tue Jun 23, 2020 7:45 pm

Just picked up a 2019 300rr I'd like to street but can't get the rear lights to come on. Since they're only on with the engine running troubleshooting the connections and front/rear switches has been difficult so far. I've pulled the plastic, tank and seat and cleaned all the connections. Fuses are good. Is there a way to test the switches without replacing them? Anything not as obvious I can check?

You may have a broken ground ferrule on your Beta, it's a common issue on these bikes.

I've had my led tail lights fail after I looped it. Just the led portion is not too expensive

Thanks, I looked at it from the outside and it appears normal. I'd like to think a small co like beta can correct the design by 2019 but I'm stiil going to open the bundle for a better look.

It looks normal but I guess you never know. especially on a used bike. I'll try to test it off the battery.

SMH. I can still start the bike with everything stripped. The cleaning and reconnecting everything seemed to do it. I didn't open the wire bundle that runs over the key stub but can see where it bends back and forth behind the plate. If it happens again I'll know to look there first.
