What happens when you short that Connector dose the brake lights light up or dose it blow the fuse

Saw another video today of an X15 and noticed the brake lever had nothing connected like mine, I have no lights in the back so guess its an option my bike doesn't have.


Also, the part I had asked about I know noticed is a 1 prong connector with green wire (ground for something) and not a 2 prong connector. Can't find anything it might hook to though.

Alot of guys disconnect it because it makes the bike not start unless the brake is on so if the bike dies you can't restart it well moving or it just has nothing hooked up there lol as your finding out there is no standard to the wireing and the colors don't mean to mutch they just make the wireing harness on a jig with what ever wire they have at the time

Tuned the carb last night and she's running and idling well, did an oil change with Castrol 10W40 4 stroke oil as well.

Is the start button supposed to work as a kill switch as well? It doesn't turn my bike off and neither does pulling the choke on. Only way I could turn it off was closing the petcock I installed and then wait about a half minute or so for the fuel to burn out in the carb.

There should be a single terminal tab on the ignition coil when you connect that tab to ground it kills the spark just unplug it from the wireing harness make a note about it in your notes then wire in your own switch!!!!!!!

Back to working on the R32 Viper restoration. On to the gas tank cover which has a piece missing and various cracks. Grafted a piece of plastic in to replace the missing section using zip ties and a soldering iron. Will be using fiberglass drywall seam tape and epoxy to reinforce the cracked areas from behind, then wrapping the tank cover with carbon fiber wrap.

Fixed the tank cover cracks with the fiberglass tape and 2 part epoxy.
Wrapped the tank cover yesterday, took quite a while as it was my first time doing a wrap. Turned out ok, some creases here and there but I'm happy with it overall and it strengthens the old plastic :
