wiring issue or not?

Post by j4weeson »

Hi all,

I've had my storm now for nearly a year, trouble free! Just noticed something which may lead to a future problem. Anyway been out on the bike and it was starting to get dark and i noticed that every time i press the front brake the side lights come on 50%( ie not fully on as compared to when they are switched on)?? :confused I assume that's not normal? When i switch them on theres no problem and they are bright and everything works.

I was wondering if anyone else could shed some light (pun intended :lol:) on the situation

Thanks in advance

Jason

Most likely! Just give all connections a good check over.

Finally got round to checking over the connections. Couldn't find anything obvious or out of place. Problem seems to have sorted itself out :think: Got MOT on Saturday afternoon so will get another run out on bike then.
Thanks for the help
