Thanks for the info mate, unfortunately I don't know of any Cycle Gear stores here in the UK.
I managed to get a bulb locally but that popped straight away so it looks like I've got electrical problems
. I hate auto electrics... I'll play with the spanners all day but electrics :cry:

Your tail light blowing would proably mean a loose or dirty connection or even a bad ground. Might as well stock up on bulbs and use a circut tester or multimeter. Has your headlight bulb ever blown as well? Take your time and try not to pull all your hair out :lol: . Good luck and I hope this helps.oldberger said:Thanks for the info mate, unfortunately I don't know of any Cycle Gear stores here in the UK.

Cheers Bill I'll check the connections especially the earth. I did have the battery out but the only other thing I've done at the rear end is wash it.

Thanks again Bill, I've cleaned up the tail light and sprayed with WD-40 this afternoon.
It'll have to wait until Tuesday before I can try a new bulb. It's only the tail light that blows, the brake light is OK so I'm alright for daylight riding tomorrow. The headlight has never blown by the way. :?

oldberger - Is it only the tail light or is it blowing all the bulbs? If it is popping them all chances are that either the your regulator (2"sq x 1" block on the rear plastic guard) has a wire off it or the regulator itself has died. If this dies open circuit or gets disconnected the voltage can go as 30 volts at high revs.
If you have to change it, the old one can be fixed at little cost with a bit of effort by a 'lectronics nut. There is a doc in downloads - '98 FEE charging system - that talks about this.
If the reg is not working, make sure you disconnect the battery if you run or ride the bike for any length of time. The high voltage will overcharge and bugger the battery. My battery boiled till it blew a hole out the side.
