I've got some intermittent grounding problems with the rear lights ,brake, directional.
Where should I look first, where does all that ground to?

Thanks.

Check the rear harness under the tail section, also check the ground connection to the fairing stay under the gauges. If the bike is running fine it's not likely the big swingarm ground but you might check that as well anyway.

Under the tail there looks like what would be a ground stud,with wires from lights to it, but it seems to be in fibreglass.

I just had a quick glance so far.

Yes. It ties the grounds between the signals and the taillight. The taillight then has a ground wire that goes into the harness. I would wiggle test that all the way to the plug.

Very good, thanks, that's what I'll check first.

All fixed, grounding at the back for the turn signals, and front brake light switch out of position, for the brake light problem.

Thanks
