Default buell woes

So as someone so kindly pointed out the rear brake light on the 1125R is not working, looks like its going back to the shop for warrenty work.
When I came home I pulled the bulb out and put it in securely and now it stays on constantly and pulling the brake level has no effect, since its still under warrenty I decided to not mess with it, button it back up and take it in. Let's hope my bad luck does not continue....

I think it was an issue with the charging system/wiring harness. First the check engine light came on then the battery light, then the bike died a short time later. its going to the dealer tomorrow so we will see what happens.

Gotcha.
I'm waiting on a diaphram. Hopefully they get it in. I guess no dealer in the US has one in stock (per the online inventory)... so yeah, we'll see.
