My brake light does not come on, either with the front or the rear brake levers. The bulb is good and the BMU, red triangle, stays on all of the time. Any ideas as to how to fix this problem? Thanks

Check fuse #1 and #2 Both fuses feed power to the BMU.
Circuit #1 also feeds power to the fuel gauge, temp gauge, and heated grips.
If the gauges and grips work, it sounds like you may have issues with the BMU internally.

OK, here's what I found. Brake light wire pinched and cut through, fixed. Red triangle still on all the time, removed BMU per Duck's fine instructions, fixed. All is well again, now it's too damn hot to ride (97 deg. and humid).
