Banjo Brake Switch

I am doing a little upkeep on my 449 and noticed my brake light was stuck on. Figured it was not a big deal until I got a call back from my KTM dealer... Seems the OEM banjo pressure switch is "No longer available for order".

I am pretty sure that Husky would have used a standard Brembo pressure switch, however, their logic on the front brake is strange. Normally, default resting is off, switch closed is brake light on. However, on the 449, the at rest static is ON and the activated is OFF (they use a reverse switch). Stupid...I predict a lawyer was involved.

So this concerns me that Husky chose some stupid login on the rear. I cannot get full access to the plug or I would play around with the wires and see what I can figure out.

Anyone replace these?

Use a KTM banjo switch

Found this as a workaround... http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=629811 Sucks having non standard components.

After all of the promises from stephan pirate about supplying parts for previous huskies a part for a 2 year old bike should not be "no longer available for order".

Wasn't his fault. Italian Confederation of Work Union.

No good bigmo. I have a feeling we will see more of this, especially for the 449/511. Maybe some parts on the xlites too.
