as the title says on my dad''s 1998 Honda Shadow VLX 600, he just bought and we were checking it over, the tail light works, and works for the hand front brake, but not for the rear foot brake, any ideas what it might be?

try locating the switch on the footbrake and adjusting it.Ill go out and check my dads shadow to see if i can find it. Idk if the 2002''s are the same as the 98''s though
