Details

What's wrong: An overload of the turn signal, rear tail/brake light, and carburetor warmer circuit can blow the fuse.

Why it matters: This condition can result in a lack of rear tail and brake light illumination. Vehicles following behind may not notice the motorcycle's braking action, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

The fix: Dealers will install new, appropriate-rated fuses.
