Why does the brake light not work on my 2004 Yamaha v-star?

The brake light on your 2004 Yamaha V-Star may not work due to a few common issues. First, check the brake light bulb, as it may be burnt out and simply needs replacement. Additionally, inspect the brake light switch, which could be malfunctioning or misaligned, preventing it from activating the light when the brake is engaged. Lastly, ensure that the wiring and connections are intact and free from corrosion or damage.
