Brake light colour connection
« on: January 08, 2017, 20:23:24 »
Hello I am looking for the technical diagram of the vstrom 1000 of 2015 to know that it is the colour of the cable of lamp of the rear brake

The brake light is white with a black stripe, the tail and tag light is brown, the left turn signal light is black, the right turn signal light is light green and earth is black with a white stripe.

Pat- 2007 DL650A was ridden to all 48 contiguous states. 2012 DL650A outlasted me.
Nicknames I use to lessen typing, Vee = 2002-2012 (K2-L2) DL1000s. Veek=2014+ (L4+) DL1000s. Wee = 2004-2011 (K4-L1) DL650s. Glee = 2012+ (L2+) DL650s

There's a clear connector under the front of the seat which is connected to the rear brake with 2 cables - orange is switched live, don't know what the white with black stripe one is (didn't meter it).
