Stupid question but when you checked for power at the brake light did you try both the front brake as well as the rear. It could be as simple as a bad brake light switch.

Remove the two wires from the rear brake light switch and jumper them together with the ignition on... if the lamp lights you've got a bad switch.

I agree on checking the brake light switches, if all else fails...check the loose nut behind the handle bars and above the seat (LOL). Then get a service manual and check the wiring diagram for connector locations.

I Have the Service Manual. I Have followed the wire diagrams and checked for Power at the switches. Power is presant when I Press the Brake Pedad or use the Handle I Have no Power Drop. I have Power in all of the wires. Is There a Common Module or controller? I have removed the seat and checked for Power at the Wires. The Book Does not give me much information.
