Just found out after visiting K2 that my tail light relay sensor has been chopped in half what looks like it has been done with a knife or pliers. Cost me £10 for repair and replacement.

However made me think due to the stupid people that attack bikes, do some companies make camera for motorbikes (hidden cameras) only wondering as next time it could be something more important than the lights and curious anyway.

Is that a stupid device/idea Question

I can't imagine that there are too many places you could have a hidden camera on a bike. +1 on the cyclone.

That sounds like an very expensive kind of 'Stop-Lamp-Switch' Laughing

I presume it was the back one? It has bonded wires coming out of the switch body; and sits on the frame rail above the back brake lever. Front is a square micro-switch, screwed to the brake lever bracket and has two mini lucar terminals.

If it was one of the wires to the front 'tail light relay sensor', could have been sheared when you dropped it.

Some-one once stole the front brake hose off my AR125 while it was parked.... considereate tea-leaf..... they only wanted the hose..... they put the copper seals back on the banjo bolts and screwed them back into reservoir & caliper... Shocked

He shouldn't need to; I fitted one to it soon as I put the bike into commission for Snowie to use...... unless it's been stolen of course Rolling Eyes

It is the one underneath the front break held on by one screw haven't dropped it recently and was fine when I arrived at university. When I went k2 to see what the problem was see if they could fix it that is when I realized it had been demolished.

It is still there fitted sort of since I took the bike in for the indicators to be done I haven't dared put it back on as they have messed all the cables up inside and I'm no good with electrics.

My 'bet' is that you sheared or smashed it when you tumbled, or tugging & twisting, putting your lever & twist grip straight, and it's been hanging by a 'thread' of wire ever since....
