there only 3 wires on the bike and three wires on the tail light the colour should be the same, but just keep switching them around until it right

 

also makesure you got te light switch on main beam

I'm presuming your wiring colours aren't a million miles from mine, the 3 wires to back end are black(common earth) blue or blue/red (tail light bulb) yellow (brake light), I recently wired in an Acerbis tail tidy with the three wires Yellow was something daft like earth, on the tail tidy, red was brakes I think, if in doubt get a battery with two wires on to the tail tidy, just remember the brightest light is the brakes, hope this helps.

mine was BLUE-BLUE

Yellow-yellow

black-black

then i made a new loom for the rear and messed it up so its now

blue-yellow

yellow-blue

maybe some ones messed about with the wires on yours?

but your original should have a blue/black/yellow wires so copy how that was connected

Trust me the wire colouring on the tail tidy won't be the same as what are on your bike loom, as I said before

Black = Earth
Blue = Tail light
Yellow = Brake lights

If you can, try and chop back the blue and yellow wires as far back as you can, then swap and re-crimp so you have
black to green
blue to blue
yellow to yellow,
Might make things easier in the future, or for the next chap

Did you connect up your new LED tail light as well as the original one on the rear fender or INSTEAD of? I couldn't get my LED enduro tail light thing to work on it's own no matter which way I connected it up and I tried it every way possible.  In the end I wired it into the original light so both work together.  Is that what you did?

i have removed the old rear end if you check out my thread in the framework section,
and tripr i have not fitted it fully but i belive by keeping the rear part of frame i can attach it without drilling the fender (:
