76 KZ900 comlete resto, just got done. took her down to all basic parts, powdercoated the frame. original wire harness. put everything back as it was I think. every thing seems to work, except I get a small amout of current on the brake light on the dash. I did change to led bulbs for the dash, but the light comes on dim with the key. It gets twice as bright when you hit the brake, as it should, but what did I hook up wrong to get a little feed current back through that circuit? Because of the powdercoat I made sure the grounds were all good. What am I missing?

Remember, the government can not give you anything they have not first, taken from someone else.

You may want to put the regular incandescent bulb back in temporarily as a test. If the problem disappears the LED bulb is causing the problem and you may need a resistor or something to make up for the change. Ed
