Hi,

Right the problem is that when i put my headlight on, my rear light doesn't come on aswell as its suppose to. The rear light does however work when i press the foot brake.
I noticed it because my negative (black) wire coming from the battery was no longer properly fixed to the frame. After repairing this, i found that my neutral light and indicators had gone, so i bought a new indicator relay. Then my headlight went, but ive managed to fix that now.
So currently, i have no neutral light, no rear light and no backlight for my speedo. Ive checked wires and fuses but cant seem to find anything. Can anyone help.
Bikes a suzuki fr50 (basically a honda c50)
Thanks in advance
Liam

*forgot to say* My neutral light went a while ago, before the indicators. Sometimes it would work, other times it wouldn't*

1st are you sure the bulbs are ok? As your brake light and rear light have different elements in the same bulb.

Re check the earth is good as bad earths will cause no end of problems.

Well...talk about doing something yourself if you want it done properly. My dad was helping me try source the problem yday, and i thought he was more than capable of checking the rear bulb Rolling Eyes
obviously not.
Could the rear bulb, in anyway cause the problem of no neutral and speedo light?

If the earth is dodgy on any bulb it could effect any part of the electical system as the power uses any way back to earth it can find. However if the bulb had blown it would not effect the others as the cucuit would be broken.
