Curvy rear brake light switch?
Bought a new brake light switch today, only to get back and remember I have aftermarket rear sets so a non standard switch, its a screw in type at what looks like the top of the master cylinder. Any idea which it might be?

Re: Brake light switch
That sounds like a pressure switch in the brake line. Replacing it will require some elements of re-bleeding your rear brake system.
Check with a multi-meter that it's definitely shot  Jambo

Re: Brake light switch
So annoying nothing on the bloody bike is simple and standard, certainly does not look like the standard pull switch with the spring it goes in the side.
Where do I test with my multimeter? |

Re: Brake light switch
Follow the wire up from the switch there should be a plug, undo this and get a multi-meter across the terminals on the brake switch side.
Apply the rear brake good and hard See if the continuity between the 2 terminals is "made" as pressure is applied (resistance should drop to 0, or get a beep if you have a continuity tester) Jambo

What pitch thread would the banjo pressure switch be? I found 1mm or 1.25mm.
