Hi again, one more question for the helpful chaps here at the TZR forum:

My front brake is not lighting up the brake light. The footbrake lights it up fine though. which wire should I be tracing? Any specific areas i should check? Is the trigger on/around the front brake itself?

Switch is on the bracket and is operated by the lever. Check it's working OK and teh connectors are good. If so trace the wiring back through the loom and you should find the problem.

Like wazza said the switch is under the brake lever.
Pull off the connectors and touch the wires together (use a bit of wire) - if (with the ignition switched on !)the brake light works the brake switch is buggered, if the light doesn't work follow the loom back looking for breaks.
