So I was showing off to my daughter the new LED headlight on my K11LT and I asked her to hit the brakes so I could see the brake lights. I have some fancy LED brakes lights added by the previous owner. So she pulls the front brake, nothing happens. Hmmmm, hit the right pedal. Nothing.

OK strange. So I start it up. All the brake lights work properly. Has this always been this way? I never noticed that I my K11RS.

The brake light should work when the bike is turned on and not running.

However, the brake light doesn't work unless the kill switch is in the middle position so that might have been your issue.

The kill switch was in the middle position, the bike was on the center stand, but the side stand was deployed. I think that may have done it.
