limpy88 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Noticed the other day that my brake light seems off, looked at it today and saw that some of the leds in the brake light are out. Seems odd. So i guess i need to take it in for a warranty claim. Wonder how that works at a different dealership than i bought it. I havent done any electrical mods of than factory Yamaha fj09 heated grips.

Duke Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Another good reason to run a Whelen strobe as a secondary brake light. Also why my turn signals are also running lights. Redundancy is a good thing, and so is redundancy. 1 1 Old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I’m sorry, I should have said that I also hope everything works out with getting a replacement. Old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Called the Yamaha shop closest to me(over 1hr away). They ordered the part, they should have it next week. Been wanting to add a second brake light on my top box, just havent ordered one yet.

Premium Member sirepair Posted April 25, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted April 25, 2019 +2 for Whelen. Mine is mounted as above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I mounted mine below my license plate. I wanted it further away from my blinkers to make sure they are as visible as possible. This is basically the same setup that I had on my ST1100. Old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpy88 Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Well talked to the dealer, they said the brake light from Yamaha is on back order till may 16th. So wonder if it no a common issue and they have a new part to replace the old one that failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
