Is it still under warranty, if so take it to the dealer and let them look through the wiring, seems that you are getting too much power or the wrong bulb is installed.

I agree with Z, use your warranty if possible. The fault suggests either a faulty brake switch, which could be front or rear brake, or possibly a defective bulb. In any event your bike has Canbus electrics and it is wise to get some expert advice.
