Light issue

[Dave7691]

Wondering if anyone has had parking light issues with an f3 .Our's is blowing the fuse haven't checked for wire chafing yet only 1000 miles on it . Not sure if there is a problem area to check first . Guess I'll start by unplugging front and rear lights then check with a meter for a short .
Dealer is an hour away . No new mods have been done to cause this problem . Being new to Spyders not sure if there's a area to look first.
Thanks

light issue

All fixed found one spot looked like it was nicked on install.
Tupperware back on and she's happy to be back in the wind.

Good job! And (off subject) do you have better pics of her without the Tupperware? Side shots, etc... ?

This morning while doing my pre-ride inspection on my '15 F3-S I noticed I had no tail or tag lights illuminated...brake lights, back up lights, and turn signals were working though. Bike has about 1400 miles on it. The day after I bought the bike I noticed the right tail light bulb had one of the two filaments burned out in it, so it was only doing 1/2 of the functions that the bulb was made to do. I can't make it to the dealer until Saturday (today is Monday) so after work I'll pull the fuse box cover and check the fuse and replace it myself if it's blown...however merely changing a fuse does not solve the issue that caused it to blow in the first place. No mods to the bike either. FOLLOW UP...after I got home last night I pulled the fuse box cover off and did in fact discover the fuse was blown. I replaced the fuse and as soon as I turned the ignition key I heard the distinct "SNAP" as the fuse I just replaced also blew! As a temporary fix I have installed a red LED light assembly that I had laying around and used the switched accessory power wires located under the passenger seat to supply power to the light and I zip tied the light assembly in place just above the tail light assembly. I made an appointment with my local dealer to look at it on Saturday January the 2nd.

I would think that this should be a warranty promblem?

We used land and sea in Waterbury.
They took us right in found the pinched wire in the tail light no more issues.

Yes it was but we won't bring it back to the dealer in NY we bought it from because of an issue with there service department. So I checked it for a short or chaf myself, so she could ride it while we looked for a dealer to service and repair it .
