Only minutes after pitlane opened, Andrew Dudgeon went down bringing out the red flags and then the session was stopped again when Raul Torres Martinez crashed at Mandarin and his bike promptly burst into flames.

Rutter took his Bathams Aspire-Ho backed Honda RC213V-S to top spot with a 1’29.232 with Peter Hickman 1.2s back in second on the Bathams BMW S1000RR.

Martin Jessopp took his PBM Ducati to third place with Horst Saiger fourth and Davo Johnson fifth and 3.281s off the pace.

Former Moto3 star Danny Webb bagged sixth place with Derek Sheils in seventh, Marek Cerveny eighth, Sam West ninth and Didier Grams in tenth.

TT legend John McGuinness ended in 11th place on his return to Superbike action, putting in a 2’36.422 on his PBM Ducati.

2000 Varadero xl1000 brake light problem

2000 Varadero xl1000 brake light problem

Alright lads, so I have a Honda Varadero XL1000 and it recently developed a weird problem. The taillight works fine when the lights are on but the brake light doesn’t work whether the lights are on or off.

I’ve replaced the bulbs with brand new ones and I’ve checked the fusebox under the seat and the fuses are all good. I recently replaced the rear turn signals with new LED ones and I soldered in proper resistors to balance the load and they all work fine and there is no loose wiring around/behind the brake light assembly.

I have no idea what may be going wrong, can anyone please help?
