Here is the problem, i put handlebars on over the winter and broke the little plastic switch for the front brake. I got the new part and installed it and everything worked fine (blinkers and stop lights). Went up the street and hit the turn signal it worked and then went out as well as the brake lights(running lights are still lit). I tried to by a manual but the dealer is out. Is there a fuse box. Any info would be great its to nice out to be in the house.

The fuses are behind the side cover on the left side of the bike.

If it's not the fuse, I'm afraid to say you might have broken that little plastic front brake switch again. It's quite delicate.

Did you use a piece of cardboard between the front brake lever and the housing? If you didn't, it's probably broken.

Nope it was a fuse. Got a manual on order. Thanks again cHarley at least I was able to get out in this beautiful weather.

Duigon,
Your bike reminds me of Odie with those apes. See the resemblance?
