Hey guys my break light is stuck on, any suggestions? Does the front break also activate the break light.

 

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.&nbsp\\; There is a clip that holds&nbsp\\;switch in place&nbsp\\; that is notorious for falling out.&nbsp\\; Take brake lever off and manuallly check switch, careful when taking brake lever off or you will brake the switch.&nbsp\\;

 

CRAP,
&nbsp\\;
I changed my bars about a week ago and it could have been out since then. I didnt see the clip.

 

don't feel bad went through the same thing when I changed my bars, did you shim the brake lever with you took it apart otherwise you might have broken the switch.

 

it might not be together properely. if the clip is in there ,check fitment

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!!

is there still a little black nipple on the end of the switch? you can see it if there is it is a glossy black compared to the rest .

I beleive there is

 

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 .
