Out of the blue my brake light stopped working...seems the brake and tail light just always stays on
Bulbs at the end of their life cycle will always remain on (or flash repeatedly) to let you know they need replacing. Replace your bulbs!
Check your switches. One could have come out of adjustment. There is a switch on the back brake and one on the front hand brake.
SOURCE: changed to led from harley and now i have tail light but no brake
Did you check the bulb? and wiring?
good luck!

Test the bulbs, either with a multimeter or by taking leads from the battery (one from each terminal) and touching them on the bulbs terminals...no light...new bulb.
If bulbs are OK then clean all terminals with emery paper. Still no luck...use mulitimeter to test continuity from fuse to bulb seat terminal. If no continuity check the wiring has not been damaged...if so replace it. Usually this is a corrosion problem. Good Luck.

Check the bulb first, check fuses, thn check if theres 'live' current to the brake light wire to the bulb socket (using a tester).
If theres no 'live' current to the bulb socket thn proceed to the brake light switch and check for the 'live' current to the wires there, one of the wires there should have a 'live' current of course having the igntion switch 'on'.
If theres is 'live' current there, thn the switch is faulty it may just need cleaning, try to clean by using WD-40,if it doesn't help thn replace it.
If you still have no 'live' current on any of the wires to the brake switch thn trace the wire (color) from the rear light socket and follow to the fuse box / ignition switch.
Hope this helps!

Hi and welcome to FixYa,
Would the wiring diagram of a ZX9R (C & D) help? You might find the red and red/blue wires from the ignition switch interesting.
Good luck and hank you for asking FixYa.

It mught be the bulb that needs replacing or else check the wiring to the bulb for continuity in case there is a broken or snapped bit.If you have a voltmeter then you can test the voltage reading at the point of contact..Sometimes rust builds up and a simple cleaning would solve this.Hope this helps.
