Hello everyone, I recently acquired a 2006 SM610 and noticed it does not have a front brake light switch. There's nothing there (at the lever), and there's a connector hanging loose. I bought the brake light switch for this bike (Brembo package) but it does not mount properly, I'm thinking there's a piece to the brake lever that's missing, something with some sort of plunger to activate the switch. Could someone with an SM610 or TE610 post a picture of their front brake light switch so I can see what I'm missing? btw the Husqvarna fiche was no help. Thank you
Does it the top of it look like this? The brake switch I got looks similar to yours, but my brakes look to be a different style where it doesn't mount
No, mine doesn't look like that. Where yours has the block-looking tab with two mounting holes inboard from the pivot, my casting tapers to the reservoir. Looking at the parts diagrams and comparing to your photos, it appears that you have a front master cylinder for a 2005 SM510. There is indeed a small pin (called a pawl in the parts fiche) that contacts the switch.
I think you're correct Jon. Do you by any change have the part number for that switch? I don't know the history of this bike so it's possible the brake lever assembly was replaced from another model bike. It's really made it a nightmare finding that switch. Thanks for your help.
I do, but I'm at home now. Obviously we have the switch in stock, we can ship it to you if you'd like. I don't know if we have the pawl in stock. Feel free to give us a call at 888-806-1153 from 9 to 6
