I’m trying to install a ST2 brake light module. (It flashes the brake light if you slow by engine braking or downshift and don’t use the brakes). The instructions say to tap into the grey/red, grey/black, and brown wires. My rear lights have blue, brown, yellow, grey wires. (Grey and brown goes to the license plate light). Anyone know what color the power and signal wires are? (Brown is ground?)
Any info is appreciated.
 
Hello Don,
I can share EU colors and pins, not sure if it will match to US.

Tail side (cable from connector to the original tail)
Pin 1 - brown - tail light ground
Pin 2 - blue with green - right turn signal
Pin 3 - black with white - left turn signal
Pin 4 - blue with brown - 12V (+) for licence plate
Pin 5 - grey with red - brake light
Pin 6 - yellow - tail light

Bike side (connector above battery)
Pin 1 - blue with red
Pin 2 - blue with green
Pin 3 - brown
Pin 4 - blue with brown
Pin 5 - grey with red
Pin 6 - grey with yellow

Hope it will help, numbers of pins are visible on the backside of connector
