Task #05 - Brake Light Switch
Check the brake light switch operation and adjustment by applying the brakes with the ignition turned on. Operation of either the front brake lever or the rear brake pedal should illuminate the rear brake light.

Note: The front brake light switch is incorporated into the handlebar lever assy and is not adjustable. If the switch fails to operate, then you will have to find the fault and/or replace the switch assembly.

The rear brake switch is adjustable. Proper adjustment of the switch will have the light coming on just before the brakes actually engage. Before adjusting this switch, make sure you have your rear brake pedal height and freeplay properly adjusted in accordance with the instructions HERE.

To adjust the rear brake switch, grasp the switch body firmly and turn just the adjustment nut. Make sure you do not allow the switch body itself to turn as the wires inside can break off. After you have made the adjustment, double check that it operates properly.
