Ah okay lol.

It's a 2007 cbr 125, I've got a wireing diagram in the garage if that's what I need

[rickburnout666 0]

Yes the diagram should get you sorted, if the side light comes on by a handlebar switch, check that first, that's where the problems usually start, because they don't get used much and get built up with crap, Give the connections and connectors a good clean up
