Preparing for Inspection

roberto_031 · 09-08-2010, 10:46 PM

Hello, I just purchased a gz250, my first bike, and have been fixing it up. I had a quick question about the only potential inspection problem I see. Should the taillight always be on like the headlight? The only time my taillight is illuminated is when I apply the brakes, however, it seems like it should always be lit in case you are riding at night.

Thanks for any help.

Your taillight should be illuminated at all times.It sounds like your taillight bulb is burnt out.you have one bulb with duel elements,one side for brake light,the other side for taillight.To change the bulb you need to remove rubber plug under the fender, the bulb socket turns counterclockwise for removal.You can replace the bulb with a #2357 with is a little brighter without using much more power.

How does that work? If it's higher wattage it'll use more power. Is it halogen or some such thing? (genuine question

)

Here we go again, just to try and start something else I guess. That comment was very necessary, to you. And it makes no sense.
FYI, when I read that post, it had just been corrected, but I guess I didn't see that little tiny notation on the bottom that it was edited as I was posting mine, :blush:
So, keep it up, make another asinine comment like you always do. :puke: :whistle:
