Re: Positive Feed to rear lights
as both model versions have different rear lights it may be useful to state which, unless of course it's your bike (zx6man)
 Cheers Mark.

Re: Positive Feed to rear lights
Which one? Rear or brake, they both have a positive feed and share a common earth. iirc

Re: Positive Feed to rear lights
Right I'd go to the tail light as presuming she rides with the lights on its a continous feed.
The live for the light is brown, presuming you need to pick up an earth as well, that's black with white tracer.

Re: Positive Feed to rear lights
No they're not, you'll only get the tail lights on when the ignition is set to "park" or when "on" and also the sidelights switch is on. This stays on when you put the headlights on.
If you want a switched live feed then you could go to orange wire out of the ignition switch, but make sure anything you do here doesn't interfere with that wires current carrying ability.

Re: Positive Feed to rear lights
On mine, the brake light and tail light wiring is identical
 Brown, and white with black. Which led me to wire my heated grips so they only worked with the brakes on
