I'm guessing that most of the lights run on 12v. The only running
light should be the rear brake light at a constant 6v whenever the
bike is on. Somewhere along the line, that 6v is bridged to the turn
signal line that should nominally be at 0v. Check the harness for a 6v
signal, then try to track

Hi A
You're right those are a lot cheaper. The reviews on those were that they are
not dark enough and they are detrimental to the optical quality of the shield.
Also they take a couple of minutes to transition. Supposedly these were

It's not hard on the bikes, only differences is you have two brake calipers

Hi All,
I have a NH 650sc. This is the first bike I've ever owned. The front break
pads need to be replaced soon. I've done this before on a car and it's been
pretty straightforward so can I do it myself on the bike as well or do you
recommend that I take it to a mechanic? Is it the same on a motor
I haven't piped up because my NHs are 80s bikes, but the front ones that are
running lights are 3 wire and the rear ones that are blinker only are 2wire.
If you've got one that's on all the time I'd suspect it's grounding out
somewhere it shouldn't, or possibly a previous owner committed some

Jason,
Didn't you say if you moved the turn signal itself to the other
side the problem followed it?
If thats the case I doubt its the relay - if it was the relay
the problem would stay on the same side no matter which bulb or signal
was on that side.

So, at this point I am thinking that the fault might be in the turn

Ok, so basically nobody has rear running lights on their bikes. I

acting like a running light and a turn signal and the right is only

Yes, it looks like it has some glue on it.. like a sticker. BTW, Allen, I
saw once one of those attachements to prevent fogging in your helmet, that
are photosensible and get dark with the sun light. Perhaps that is a cheaper
option.

Only issue I had was when I was putting it back on, it was hard to raise the
forks up high enough to get the axle to slide through. Ended up getting my
brother to push down on the rear frame hard enough to sorta balance the
weight, so I could change the height up front and line up all the holes.

If you have a car jack, you can put it below the pipes (with a piece of
wood, much better), and then you can raise the front of the bike enough to
do the job.

A few thoughts. I agree with Allen, there should not be much if any

Mine is a 92, however I have seen nothing that even hints that there are
