Default Brake light

Hi

I had a crash and my rear brake lever broke so changed it and my rear light won't go out, thinking it may be my switch? Any ideas?

Brake light or rear light? Is it on the ninja or on an sv? On the Sv you have a wire hook type switch coming down behind the rear brake towards the lever and on the front brake you have a little switch that the lever knocks in/out when you operate it. Worth checking both but obviously does sound like your rear one. If you look round the back of the hanger/foot brake assembly it;s not too hard to spot

it's on the sv, the switch still clicks when pulled but brake light just stays permanently on, so was foing to buy a new switch but thought I'd ask before I waste my money.
