Title: Source for rear brake light cable
Post by Rotorhead on 11/05/17 at 17:12:12

So when i bought my bike a few weeks ago the rear brake light cable was disconnected from the switch. When i reconnected it, i found the cable to be binding whenever the rear brake was depressed, and the brake light would remain on after releasing the pedal.

I pulled the exhaust and sure enough the cable had a bad crimped/crushed section causing the cable to bind - looks like the cable got crushed, probably from careless use of a jack or lift.

I did my best to un-bind it, but the cable is pretty well damaged and needs replacement. I cant seem to find a source for it, and the parts list doesn't show it (it shows the brake cable, but not the brake LIGHT cable). Anyone have a PN or know where I can get it from?

Make one using a new bicycle cable , save the old one you will need to reuse that little dohicky thingy at the end on the new cable !

It is indeed! Thanks Dave. I'm actually getting one from a forum member but if I need the oem at least now I know where to find it.
