Man I wouldn't take my time with brake light issues, if you haven't got time I'd be taking that to a bike mechanic asap, even just to ask them for a quote/assessment, they might even just do it for you there and then

?????? If it takes you more than 5 minutes to replace a rear brake light switch maybe you should leave ANY bike repairs / maintenance to the experts :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

PS did I mention REPLACE the switch 'Gman' --- honestly is piss easy and pretty cheap ??? :kuda: :kuda:

The box is most likely an alarm.
the "buttons" are to adjust "tilt" sensitivity.


Possibly for hyper-drive .... :lol:

on the note about it being a hyperdrive, it does make sense. My bike is called the millenium Ninja. You guys might recognize the name. It made the Kessler run in 12 parceps
