Brake light not working   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #31060 of 31913 |
Hello,
I took delivery of #436 a couple of days ago. I noticed the brake light isn't
working. I checked the bulb first and it's good. I removed the brake light
switch and bypassed it with a piece of wire and the light comes on. I cleaned
the contacts on the switch and it still not working. Do I need to replace the
switch? I didn't see a switch by the foot brake. Is there only one brake light
switch? I was hoping to take the bike for a ride this weekend, oh well. Any help
is appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Thanks Jumper, The front switch looks like a piece is missing that the brake lever activates, so I'll replace that. I found the rear brake light switch and...

Try cleaning the rear brake switch before replacing. Clean the terminals and make sure they fit tight. Check your brakefluid level too. Might put "rotating"...
