RE: Break light problems
Brake light switch. Switch is in right brake handle when brake handle is open the switch is depressed and when it is pulled in switch is released causing brake light to come on. \\; There is a clip that holds \\;switch in place \\; that is notorious for falling out. \\; Take brake lever off and manuallly check switch, careful when taking brake lever off or you will brake the switch. \\;

I have not got it fixed. I took it apart this morning to find that the plunger switch still works but when I put it back together it stops working. In a previous post someone mentioned a clip. I didn’t find a clip. Anyway here is my e-mail address if you don’t mind sending me the step by step. I appreciate everyone’s help this place really kicks ACE!!

ok cool , then locate the switch in the houseing and see if there is a brass stopper , it will be pressing up aginst the houseing and the brake light switch . if that is gone put a cig butt in there and put it back toghter and see if it works .
