It works fine most of the time. I've just noticed that occasionally, while running at speed, the taillight warning light comes on and my taillight goes out. If I turn the key just slightly to the right (very slightly), the lights come back on. But, a couple of times when I've done that the bike has shut down completely. So, I'm not sure that the issue is with the jumpers on the white disk, or if it is in the barrel itself.
