MOT failure - rear LED light.
Hi any advice would be appreciated.
I had a fail from the MOT garage, I think its the smallest thing when the engine is running the tail light is fine but when you put the indicator on the top 3 rows fade in and out. The voltage on the battery is ok 12.9v

Re: My Bike failed an MOT help please
It would be helpful if you told us a little more about the make and model of your bike.

You have a bad connection somewhere mate. First off I'd have a look at the connectors for the rear lights - are they all clean and free of corrosion. if yes, then examine the cables - is there any sign of damage to the insulation that could be causing a short - pay particular attention to points where the cable might rub on the frame etc as this can wear away the plastic shieth after a while.

Re: My Bike failed an MOT help please
K4's have a problem with the rear lights - new unit required to fix I believe (unit is sealed so tricky to get into to look at fixing).
K5 onwards don't seem to have had this issue.

Re: My Bike failed an MOT help please
i too have had this tail light problem but on my K3. top three led's (both sides) go out upon indicator or brake light/lights being used.
replacement rear light sorted it as all cables/connectors were fine
