Motorcycle Repair: Brake light stays on 86 XLH1100 Sportster, cream puff, mike thanks


Question
Mike, Thanks for being here, we all appreciate it.
Now then, i have an 86 Sporty 1100 and my left signal has gone out twice. Now this morning i noticed that the brake light is stuck on. I always keep my lights on and never noticed this until i turned the ignition key just once this morning instead of all the way. As far as i know this could have been stuck for a long time or just happened.
I sqeezed the front brake to try to see if there where changes and stepped on the pedal also but there are none, same thing.
The neutral led also stopped working a few days ago, just remembered that.
Nothing else i can think of. Its a cream puff though. hehe

Answer
For your brake light. Looking where the lever is attached and the throttle is you will see that there are two sections. One holds the brake lever and the other holds the throttle. You have to make sure they are slide together tightly or the brake light will be on. If that is not the problem let me know
Mike
