Pretty much as the title says it....   After I finished installing my hids and whatnot I took the bike for a spin to see how they look and so on.


I noticed my left turn signal blinker on the cluster was coming on everytime I pulled the front brake lever....  It''s only the front brake (nothing happens if I apply the rear brake)... I didn''t mess with any wiring at all besides the ballasts and to the headlight.  The actual side marker and rear turn signal marker comes on and imeditately turns off when I release the brake lever so far.


So I''m lost since I''m clueless with bikes still :(


Anyone have any idea why this would happen?

Threre''s a switch in your front brake that activates the brake light.  Perhaps you crossed wires when you were wiring up your HIDs.  That''s the ONLY electical part on the front brake.  Its not like you have power assist or anything.

+1 to Jaybird. Something has to be plugged in wrong after you reinstalled everything.

I didn''t unplug anything besides the main connector piece in the upper fairing.  I only messed with the ballasts as far as wiring goes. :(

I''m absolutely stumped...

Plan on messing with it a little tomorrow morning and see if I can find anything wrong at all.  Can''t think of anything that could be wrong though....

Well somehow the brake electrons are partying with the lighting electrons.  Go in there and tell them to brake that sh*t up (LOL)
