Hello,
I searched for a related topics but didn't find anything like that.. When I use rear brake - my tail light ignores it, when using front brakes it is okay, looked for an indicator near lever but no results.. Can you guys help me? |

should be a spring from the foot lever to a plastic switch behind the assembly, it could be out of adjustment or have come off.
Cheers Mark.

As mark said, either the pastic nut needs adjusting on the rear brake (thereby stopping the switch ever contacting no matter how hard you hit the back brake), or the switch is broken.

Forgot before, but welcome to the forum
![]() The switch is pretty easy to find, behind the metal plate on the foot peg. Easy to adjust the nut by hand. I've got mine set (as I'm sure many others on the forum do), so that I can flash the brake light without actually braking. Comes in handy when you're telling other drivers that you're slowing down under engine braking ![]() |
