I see you still have the smog junk hooked up

guys it seems now my tail light is not working either along with my front left blinker. I took the wires off when I painted the fender but maybe I didnt hook it up correctly. Coming from the tail light there was a green wire with a yellow stripe, a green wire, and a brown wire. The hook up points in the box are a green wire with a yellow stripe, 2 green wires, and 2 black. I plugged in the green wire with the yellow stripe to the matching one in the box, and plugged the green wire into a matching green. That leaves the brown wire from the tail light to connect to either a green connection or one of the two black connections. I have tried all 3 with no changes. The brake light in the tail works, but not the running light. All the other blinkers work, just not the front left. Maybe the bulb is out on the front blinker.. but where does this brown wire go and why cant i get the running tail light to work. Anyone have a pic of a 2012 model inside the "oil tank" box so I can see where everything goes? Or if not could someone snap a pic for me? thanks. This needs to be working to register the bike

Nice stand.

This is the new battery that i just ordered for $64.40 on amazon. It's about $7 higher on ebay.
http://www.motobattasia.com/batteries.php?pid=39
It measures 1mm smaller then our original battery on length and width and 2mm smaller in height. I may need to shim it a tiny bit. It is 11Ah; 140 CCA and the original T.E.T. battery is 9Ah , unknown cca. So i'll let you all know how it works out after it gets here.

BTW, the original dongfang battery that i got is fine and going into my China 250cc CFMoto scooter because its battery is dead.
