Back brake light no work
How does it work - is there a sensor or is it from pressure of the fluid, or position of the lever ....my ZX6R has a snesor but it doesnt attach to anything that i can see...

Re: Back brake light no work
I'm assuming you mean the rear brake isn't activating the light? There is a pull down switch attached to the pedal (directly above) by a spring, check that the spring is there. If so switch is probably knackered or something in between the switch and the light itself.

Re: Back brake light no work
Sorry mate, had assumed it was an SV and you saying about the ZX6R was a comparison. If it's the ZX6R you'r having troubles with I have no idea.

Re: Back brake light no work
my ZX6r has 2 springs on the rear brake, big one to return the pedal and a little one behind it.

Re: Back brake light no work
The little spring is likely attatched to the pull-switch for the brake light.

Re: Back brake light no work
 The unit should be tucked/mounted behind the frame with the spring hooked onto a lug off the brake pedal. Another thing to look at is the master cylinder banjo bolt, you may have a pressure switch fitted. If you bought the bike second hand the previous owner may have had rearsets which didn't come with the option to run the OEM brake switch so a pressure switch had to rigged up, however these hardly ever go wrong so if you do have one I would say it was the connection and not the switch. Pressure switch (left) and an ordinary banjo bolt (right)....
