Why does the motorcycle taillight stay on?
1 Answers
Motorcycle taillight staying on may be caused by a faulty brake switch or damaged wiring. Steps to identify the specific issue: The taillight bulb of a motorcycle has two filaments - one is the running light that illuminates when the headlight is turned on, and the other is the brake light filament that activates when braking (the brake light is brighter than the running light). First determine which filament is lit: if it's the running light filament, check the headlight switch for issues; if it's the brake light filament, inspect the brake switch for problems. About brake lights: Brake lights are typically installed at the rear of vehicles with red-colored lenses to enhance light penetration. This allows following vehicles to easily detect braking actions even in low visibility conditions, helping to prevent rear-end collisions.
