So I picked up a 2007 Tank 250 that has been sitting since 2007, lol. It's got 250 miles on it and I got it running, runs pretty good until the below happens:
Brake lights are on constant because the switches aren't seated to the mount. If I seat the switches completely, bike will no longer turn over >:(

Pull switches back out a little and BAM, starts and runs.

I'm headed out to mess with it but if someone knows right off hand what the problem is I'll check back.

You have to adjust the switches so the brake lights go on only when you squeeze the brake handle. Remember, these scoots start only when either brake handle is squeezed.
