    I have searched the internet looking for solutions to my problem, but could not find any information. My brake light is continually on. I just replaced the rear brake switch, but that did not work. I can see a slight change in the light intensity when I apply the front brake, so my service manager thinks that's good. I haven't had the bike checked by the dealer yet, thought I would check here first. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Maybe the brake shaft is jamming a bit --have had that with a few of my bikes --remove dust cover at bottom of brake ---
    ( slide it down)

    Spray some oil in the inside and work it hard with your foot up and down until it releases.

    You can also disconnect the front brake just to determine if it may be the problem as well

    Thanks for the feedback. Checked that with the rear brake, and it is moving like it should. I did continuity checks on all the wiring which were all good, so am down to the front brake switch. I'll try that.

    Check the tail/brakelight wiring around the light. I had three exposed wires. Yours could be shorting out.

    This may sound odd, but check the bulb is in the right way. (Upside down)
    If anything changes when you use the brake lever, that suggests the switch is working.
    If the light gets a little brighter,that could just be the taillight coming on

    If I am right, find a new dealer. If they can miss that, do not trust them with your motor.
