this could be a similar problem to the blinker fluid thread

sounds like you have an electrical problem

yeah, check the fluid level.

do you have separate rear turn signals or are they part of the brakelight?

^^^ i know that just I have no clue where to start looking. What is weird is I took it to the shop about 3 weeks ago and didnt ride it after i picked it up until about 4 days ago. I dont know if they have worked at all since I got it back from the shop. I also noticed that they didnt reattach my lower faring properly so when i take it back up there tuesday I am going to tell them they messed up the brake lights too.

These are all great suggestions...... I hope u are all just being foolish

I could look at it sometime for you, its hard to even throw a guess out there as to what it might be without checking it out, but a service manual and a wiring diagram would be a good place to start.

i had a problem like that, the brake light was on all the time. the sensor that turns on the brake light was stuck in the on position. Of course it was on a 85 honda nighthawk. Also frayed open wires were shorting it out.
