    Hey all, my rear brake light on my 13 te511 is staying when bike is running. I've cycled the front and rear brakes several times but it stays on. I haven't messed with anything on the bike, has anyone experienced this also and if so what was the fix. It's like the brake is always on. Thx

    I would check the wires coming off the front and rear break cylinders I have noticed some wear and that could cause it. Also have you checked all the circuit breaker

    Rode it about 3 weeks ago everything was normal. It's been parked in garage since. Haven't checked fuses yet but all wires etc... Look normal, bike has 1900 miles of sm street riding. Thinking something is sticking somewhere

    Ya could be the banjo bolt sticking causing an open circuit keeping the light on?

    Front brake lever? Both front and rear brakes work fine, nothing dragging, all normal except brake light on.

    Hmm let me look at it on my bike and look at how the lines are ran have you traced the lines yet? I only ask because my day job is electrical work (mainly radios lol)

    Check the wires coming off the rear master cylinder. They go right under the exhaust pipe and can melt, mine did.
    Also, when I have my brake pedal adjusted where I like it, the light tends to want to stay on. You may try adjusting the lever linkage.
