Brother the back brake light is the one that's operating incorrectly not the front. The rear brake light SHOULD stay on until you are done braking and so should the front. Fix that ASAP

Need to know where you live too, do you have a parking brake in the mix? I see 2014 model so this isn't a new design issue. Adjust your rear drum as per the manual.

Was that really necessary to state in a multinational forum where many do not have English as their first language? I am not saying that is the case in the post you refer to, but lets be respectful to each other.
2010 Honda PCX 125 in Thailand (White) - "White Lightning" Sold in Sept 2017 :(
2009 Yamaha Majesty YP400 in USA (Metalic Titanium) - "The Throne" Sold in June 2020 :(

Friendly education in a comedic light is not disrespectful. :geek: And no, I fully believe matt is a native English speaker.
However, there are lots of examples of disrespect (bordering malicious) by members on here that you have nothing to say about.
If Matt is offended, I am unconcerned, and he can report my dreadful abuse of his feelings just the same as you know I would do.

I will not get too involved in this, but I will say that in these modern times there seem to be a greater number of younger people who do not know proper English. I once asked a student why he thought so many of the younger generation where not using English properly, and his reply was that he and his classmates were not mandated to take grammar any more. They were, however, allowed to choose between grammar and literature, literature being the books of their choice. Which would you choose if you were a lazy child?
Another problem I found was that many of the schools were bending over backward to try to be more 'in tune' with the needs of the minorities, and their feelings. If school criteria was hard for them, then the school should make the subjects easier for them, and every other student in the system should wait for them to catch up. With the 'No Child Left Behind' policy in place the kids shouldn't have to work hard to pass. The system will just drop down to their level. Who gets the blame in the end?
I once heard an employer say that a high school diploma means less now than it use to because the kids still can't read and write when they graduate. Once again, who is to blame? Who suffers in the end?

And then the media wonders why we are falling so far behind compared to other countries in math and sciences? Three cheers for ball caps, caffeine drinks, and skate boards. . .ye haaaaaa! 8)

BTW IMHO FWIW OMG LOL One thing I've noticed having grown up before the PC (engineers actually used slide rules and calculators were just coming on the scene) and then adjusted and adapted to it is that a lot of younger people today just aren't able to do simple math in their heads. . .or count change for example at a checkout. It's not their fault. I think the school systems have failed them because the focus has been on how to operate the new technology to get your answer. . .what buttons to push. . .what software for what desired result. It's a medical fact that if these kids don't use their brains in certain ways growing up from infancy their brains literally don't become wired (adapt) properly. In other words use it or lose it. They never had it to lose. It truly is a time unlike anything else we've seen on the face of this planet. :?

When I was a kid I remember going to some seminar about the future and the presenter described humans far out into the future as mostly just head and torso with very small arms and legs because they will have developed technology by then to do all the manual work and move them around. Far out eh? ;)

In the mean time I'll ride my scoots and motorcycles and stay tuned to see what happens next. :lol:

One thing for sure is no matter how fast you go in this world you still go around in circles. Hence, what goes around comes around. . . and so the world turns. 8)

Tyre / tire , brake / break . It makes no difference. As long as we know what's meant it matters not a jot.

Since the issue has resolved itself but the thread won't die. How hard would it be for admin to do a little editing for the sleepy eyed, hard working new member from across the pond? (at least the header). I've known WN to clean up after me many times, not just headers but also drunken political tyrants and 2am in the morning.
