Rear brake
--The brakes could be so worn, that when you apply the brake, the cam that opperates them could be turning a full 90 degrees and get stuck until you bump it by hand.
--The brake actuator could be corroded where it goes into the brake panel. Remove it and clean it with a wire brush. Then clean the hole it goes through.
--Where the brake shoes attach to the brake panel could be corroded
--The wheel will have to be removed to inspest the brakes.
Indicators
--The bulbs could be burnt out.
--The sockets the bulbs are in could be corroded and not making a good connection to the bulbs.
--The neutral light switch could be bad. The wire at the switch (Light Green/Red) - touch it to ground with the key on. If the light comes on, the switch is bad. The switch is probably near the countershaft sprocket (front sprocket). Remove the left crankcase cover that covers the chain.

You have had bad luck with this one. How old is it? Probably new petrol gauge as for the rest of it get it around to a garage as they are hard to work on. I had one for 12 years with no problems, apparently the C90 is the worlds best selling bike.

Could be a blown main fuse or bad battery as the the head and taillamps work directly from the generator lighting coils.
The indicators etc. get their power from the battery.
The rear shoes are probably worn out and the brake cam travel is excessive, or the pivot in the pedal or backplate is seized.

I had one too, with carb problems. Suggest you take yours to the shop; you'll likely do more damage if you try working on it yourself. Don''t ask me how I know ...
