Question About Suzuki Savage

Hello All,

I've posted a few times and have gotten a lot of help...hope I can get some good answers again. I have a 2002 Suzuki Savage and am having a small problem with my rear running lights. To be exact they dont work...only when I am using a turn signal. I did not get a manual when I got the bike and I refuse to go to the mechanics in my area because they rape you so horribly with their prices. I am thinking it might be a relay or maybe a fuse or something. Unfortunately I dont know where they are located and I am not confident enough to go rooting around and potentially messing something up. So if you all could either give me a sight where I can view/download a manual or tell me the location of the fuses on a Savage I would be VERY thankful for any help. Thanks in advance!

The rear "turnsignals" don't function as running lights like the front "turnsignals". At least that is how MOST bikes work. I hope that is what you meant...

your right its prolly a relay or a fuse... as far as finding them.. dont know.. just did a google search and found they are under the seat??? haha.. sorry.. my CBR is easy.. there is a little cover on the right upper faring that says "fuses" hahaha... anyway good luck

under the seat eh? firgures it has to be something like that...thanks :) and on my bike my back yellow running lights double as my blinkers like my front lights...the blinkers still work...but the running lights are always off unless as i said...i am using my blinkers.

might be as simple as the globes.

always assume the easiest.

as they are a running light and a blinker they may have a twin filament and three contacts. i'm having a guess here because in OZ we don't have that setup with ruuning lights.

if its a relay steup to control the running and blinker configuration, then it will be a single filament and a single fuse. there will be a relay with a problem. i'll try and figure out how they'd do it and get back to you (ps i'm a sparky)

Hi, If you haven't already done so, check 2 websites for savages.
www.heise.workstations,de/ls650/fragen/ls650-fragen.html

www.suzukisavage.com

The 1st one is the one with the most information. If that website doesn't work, do a search under suzuki savage forums. Most people read both forums so if you can't find the heise site ask on the suzukisavage site.

Saturn gave you the answer. The rear signals aren't wired as running lights from the factory. You could adapt some 3 wire signals, but the stockers just aren't wired that way.
