The rear brake switch is bad. This is a common problem and is an easy fix. I'm not sure where the switch is on your bike but it's usually on the right side of the lower frame.

Have you recently changed the throttle grip or had the front brake lever off the bike? Common prob is that you need to watch the brake switch on the front lever. The little button snaps off easily.... result is, you need a new switch at the lever.

The little copper V bit that slots into the rh side of the pressure switch ,has probably poped out . Especially if you have had apart

One quick way to check is to disconnect the rear brake switch on the right rear side of the frame. If it you turn on the bike and the brake lights are still on, then it's your front brake switch. Had this happen to me. Hope this helps.
