Correction . . . Brake light won't go off (Read 65 times)

RangerBob YaBB Newbies Offline I love YaBB 1G - SP1! Posts: 21	Correction . . . Brake light won't go off 05/02/11 at 19:18:11 I thought the brake light wouldn't come on, but after playing with it I realized that the brake light is on all the time. Any idea what this might be? Where is the brake light switch for the foot brake? Any help appreciated. Bob.

Might be a little hard to find with that description

rear brake switch is on the right side, just above the pivot point for the swingarm. It has a spring and a cable leading to it.

Front brake switch is on the master, there's a wire leading up to it on the bottom.

Page 56 of the owners manual.

Again, that was very helpful.

I inspected said switch this morning, and it appears that the internal spring is too weak to pull the little plunger back up. this results in the brake light being on all the time.

I can lift the plunger to turn off the brake light, but it will stick again the next time I use the rear brake.

Any idea for a good place to buy another switch?
