Evening all,
I have just got myself a 2006 PX125 (200cc engine fitted)
I have a couple of questions.....
It would appear the brake light is stuck on, I have removed headset and located brass front brake light switch, removed both wires and they are both live so I am guessing rear brake light switch is faulty and current is coming back up the wires.
Any idea where the rear switch is located and how to change?
Also this has no electric start however it does have electric start button, would it have come standard with electric start and its just been removed along with the battery?
Its been modified with GS panels, horn cast and front mudguard with all indicators removed and flushed so maybe I will come across a few other little problems as I dig deeper.
Thanks in advace for any help or advice.

but can refuse to test as its too new not to have indies ,its as jack says upto the mot guy .most use bar end indies on gs-clones . BMT are ya far from brighton ,as if ya get stuck can always come have a gaze . for brake light switch ,its release rear brake cable ,2 bolts/nuts by pedal an 1 bolt underneath through the brake block an pedal/block will drop down enuff to get to switch .

Going for simplest option first; the pedals themselves to tend to stick down, which keeps the brake light on - the pedal itself might just need a spray and a wiggle to get it returning properly. If that doesn't work, drop it using the method above and have a look at the switch; it's just two wires and a couple of quid - easy job.
