Rear wheel Break Light 'On' Position
A quick question, I've looked through my haynes manual electrical diagram but no answer.
My brake light is only coming on when the rear wheel break leaver is almost fully depressed. The 'front wheel' break comes on instantly as I press it, but the rear wheel break doesn't. Is there an adjuster to make the light come on sooner into the breaking process. Dunno if I've explained this well! Thanks in advance |

Looking at the thread title, it's clear your brake light is broken.

Re: Rear wheel Break Light 'On' Position
the other side of the brake footpeg you'll see two springs, the short one is the brake pedal return, the other a longish thin spring is the brake light switch spring. with bike ignition on pull this spring gently, Look for brake light to come on.
if yes, you'll see you can adjust it on an adjusting screw with a lock nut. hth's

Hold the sensor in place and spin the captive nut thing around. Simples, no tools required

I found that the best way was to pull the switch out and *then* you could turn the nut by hand. Druid
