Stuck brake light switch
So after replacing the step for the right hand side footpeg, it appears as though the brake light is now permanently on. I'm not 100% sure whether this is something I did when replacing parts or whether it happened in the high-side itself, but I'm guessing the rear-brake light switch is either stuck or broken. Is there something i can do to fix it or is it a replacement job?

Re: Stuck brake light switch
it should be adjustable ?? They normally have an adjustment range over 10mm or so ?? Maybe it just needs adjusting.....

Re: Stuck brake light switch
adjusting or the switch possibly got stuck. Adjust it as Gos suggested. If no love then undo the spring off the lever/switch and give the switch a good shake about and see if that fixes her up.
I mean it can't make it any worse, aside from make it permanently off

If it hurts, you aren't doing it right.

Re: Stuck brake light switch
If those suggestions don't work.... I've had one stick before, tiny bit of WD40 on the switch pin/piston fixed things up.
If you have no fear, you're not going fast enough.
