    Brake Light Help

    So I'm coming back from Bike night last night ( Good time by the way) and we take 110 into Lawrence no problem. We hop on 93s to come back into Boston as soon as we pass the 128 connector my friend speeds up to me and says that my brake light stopped working. WTF I press the brakes and ask is it just the brake light or the running light he said its completely off. I get home take the tail off check the fuses connectors and everything looks fine. Any one have this problem before? Any help would be great btw its a 04 zx6r

    Both of the brake light connecters on my '01 9R had wire break failures due to inadequate slack in the wiring harness. Maybe your 6R has the same issue. Pull out the bulbs and see if the connectors/wires are intact.
