  • High RPMS Tailight goes out????

    Had one of my friend riding behind me tell me that everytime i "got into it" my tail light would go out. It was at night and I didnt have any issues with any other lighting just the tail light. I stopped at the gas station, reved it almost to the limiter and sure enough it goes out. Any Ideas would be appreciated.



    Update: Thanks guys for your speedy responses. fixed it.

    Never be afraid of DIY. Remember, amateurs built the ark, and professionals built the Titanic.

    Check wires and socket, probably a bad connection somewhere, then vibration making light go out.

      does the brake light still work when the tail light goes out? weak or loose ground (black wire with white stripe) or tail light wire (brown). funky about to toast bulb filliment. loose bulb in holder
      99% of the questions asked here can be answered by a 2 minute search in the service manual. Get a service manual, USE IT.

        What was the fix? If I ever stumble across this it will come in handy.
        Some people are primarily positive, others negative. Some argue about whether the glass is half full or half empty. Me? I drink the contents and call it empty.
