    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Brake light dims above idle

Is this normal? I noticed that when I rev the ol girl up my brake light dims. It doesn't go out, but it dims. As I let of the throttle it lights up as if I touched the brakes. Actually applying brakes doesn't cause it to light any brighter. I got to wondering if this a standard feature to let people know that you are letting off the throttle even if you don't brake? Or do I have a small electrical issue here?
 
I think your switch is off a tad. Do some troubleshooting by first unplugging the rear brake. If it goes out then you have an issue there. If it doesn't, you'll need to fiddle with the front brake switch by loosening the screws and sliding the switch until the light goes out. Test by squeezing the handle to see if it comes back on and off correctly. Tighten down the screws.
 
I think you're right Cowboy. I didn't get to mess with it much today, but when I pushed the brake lever forward it would act right. I'll get to adjusting that switch in the next few days. Thanks a lot.
