brake light problem
The dual filament bulb for the brake light seems to be working as a running light. When I try the front brake or the rear brake the light does not get any brighter. When I press the front brake and let go the just light flickers. When using the foot pedal nothing happens.
The dual filament bulb has both filaments lit up. Should there only be one filament lit without any brake application?
I tried jumping the rear brake sensor and still no difference in brightness. Im guessing maybe the lever switch might be permanently stuck on?

Not sure on the copper piece, My lever touches the button. If you push the lever away from the throttle does it shut off? If so, you need to extend something.
Or maybe bleed the brakes to get more back pressure from the brakes pushing the lever forward.

I gotta say that the switch housings are a nightmare. I ordered replacemet switch housings and the brake switch doesnt sit in place properly because the molding is missing some pressure points that help keep the switch snug. Also the throttle handle snags internally just before wide open because the molding is rounded on the inside instead of square like the original.
I got the brake switch working but My right turn signal button is scraping on the housing. all 4 lips are in the notches and the bracket is straight. I think those switch housings are the worse design ever!!!!
