Hi everybody as the title says i have a fixable matter with the rear light of my MT.
Yesterday evening i pull a whellie with passenger.
But my passenger was very loose so his arse came off the seat and sit on rear light.
As a result the metal base of the rear light crooked down.
I took of the seat and saw that there are 2 screws that keeps the light at the metal base.
So, the metal base needs reshaping...
How i could fixed it ?
Think to pull the rear light up but maybe i'll damage it.
So if somebody had same problem or know how to fix it right... please give me an advise:cool:

Τhanks TT but my rear light is not ruined or broken.
Monday morning i'm going to mechanic for oil change at 5.000km.
I' ll ask him if he could take the rear light off and reshape the metal base.
I don't think is something complicate.
Alltough the owners manual write, on repair and maintenance section, that every matter on rear light have to be repair from a YAMAHA specialist...
If he couldn't i try to fix it myself.

P.S. so guys becarefull when you pull whellies or accelerate with passenger that is not concentrate on riding.
