I have a 2022 honda talon 1000r and I currently don't have brake lights I have tail lights.
6 months ago I did put it a turn signal kit that was plug and play and everything worked just fine. I recently just replayed my brake switch and thar didn't solve the issue. I have also adjusted my brake switch and that did not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Disconnect the turn signal kit and see if you have working lights.
Could be many things.
Faulty light assemblies, faulty TS light controller, bad wiring somewhere.
How did you diagnose a faulty brake switch?

I have disconnected it and that wasn't the issue. I started adjusting my brake switch and when I did that sometimes it would take put my tail lights so for 18 bucks that's where I started.

You can tighten or loosen the brake switch, so I tried that, 18 bucks is what a brake switch cost.

Do you have a service manual?
Disconnect the TS convertor at the back. Check the Honda wiring for signal when brakes are applied.
If signal is there, remove TS convertor and plug Honda wiring back in.

If your turn signals currently work. Everything from the TS convertor back is working correctly.

Talon lights are 3 wires.
Ground
Running light
Brake light (also turn signal)
