I seem to have applied this to my 1150 along with a few other unwanted side effects.
I discovered that my rear brake light's been sticking on so I investigated. The bulb was fine so I got my multimeter out and started proding around. I was getting 12 volts for the ordinairy light and a strange alternating low voltage from the brake light contacts. It looked like it was to do with the ABS light relay which I could hear clicking away. Anyway, I put the bulb back in and now the rear brake light's not working at all, just the normal tail light. I check the fuse box and it's blown. Might be me and my probing as I didn't check it before hand. Anyway, I replace the fuse with a lower rated one and have another look around (I didn't really know what I was doing, you might be able to tell). I noticed the brake light's back on!
I could hear the microswitch working on the back brake but couldn't hear it for the front brake. I took the cover off and had a look and adjusted the little screw underneath the switch so that it now operates just right and I can hear the switch operating. I assumed this would fix it. No, The brake light's still on. Some more fiddling and now the brake light's off again. I'm too hot and fed up so left it.
Anyway, I start the bike up this morning and I've got a brake light permanantly on. On top of which, the green neutral indicator's not working any longer and the two flashing ABS lights that I usually get have now become just one. Until I put it into gear at which point I now get alternately flashing ABS/Battery charging indicator.
I've not added anything to the bike in over a year, the rear tail light contacts look clean and uncorroded. I'm wondering what I've done or how to go about sorting it. Does the fact that it's upsetting the warning lights like that indicate a short somewhere?
