it may seem trivial problem but as ride at night quite often it does bug me, maybe a bit more info? casa ignition switch? led rear light? led speedo and side light? cant imagine how any of the parts would affect at a loss really help please

What is your problem?
You don't have speedo light at position 3?

Follow the black wire from the tail light up into the handlebars and then join the speedo black wire to this (best way to describe it if electrics aren't your thing )

thanks wintermodel150 your comment made me think, maybe black wire not constant from rear light and fault could be at rubber covered junction box will investigate further cheers.
dimitrios_231 yes the problem is driving in the dark with no speedo as position three is main lights.
thanks
