    Hi:

    Going to a DP ride soon and I heard that these guys can be strict on inspections (tires, lights, sound, etc...).

    So, checking out the bike, I found that the brake lights isn't working. Rear switch is there (need to figure out if it's plugged in), but I couldn't find any front brake light switch!!!

    I was expecting a pressure switch at the front brake reservoir banjo but no... I bought the bike used so I am not sure if the previous owner just took it off.

    I looked on bike part fiches and couldn't find it either. Any clue on where to look?

    Thanks.

    it's a micro switch that fits on the lever- and the top part of the lever is turning it off (OFF)... if the switch comes off the lever assembly, the brake light turns on.

    see that weird extension above and to the left of the pivot? that turns the micro-switch off. in electrical terms, it is called a normally-closed micro-switch. This black, rectangle, dice-sized switch itself mounts on the front & bottom of the lever perch and just snaps into 2 holes (IIRC).

    I leave my rear brake unplugged- to give me the option of braking without that insanely bright LED brake light coming on when I'm on the street (cops).

    Unplug connector at rear master cylinder and jump wires on harness side....
    Front brake switch has laughably tiny plastic clips/pins. Clips are broken on mine, could not figure out how to fix it. Need to buy new switch..
