Dropped the bike this morning which is a different story but thought I’d sorted out all the damage when I noticed the brake light is permanently on. Where the rear brake lever toe piece folded back on itself, it snapped the small spigot that pokes out of the switch. Unplugged it, then shorted it, neither made any difference. Went to the front brake (the hand guard snapped) and looked at the operation of the front brake micro switch. Took it off the m/c and it ‘clicks’ but although the brake light doesn’t go off, it slightly dims. Cut the wires, brake light still on. Now run out of ideas. Any one got a clue ? Andy
Have you had the connectors apart by the brake lever. I seem to remember there are two identical connectors in that area that can be confused and misconnected.
On the 1200, the rear brake switch wiring is easy to identify. The front brake micro switch I didn’t trace, I just cut the wiring. Too knackered to get clever by that time. Just realised, I need to put a meter across the micro switch wiring to check it is working. Andy
Robbed the rear light unit out of the track bike and now have a functional rear light and brake light. No idea why but I guess the shock caused a short from the rear light power to the rear brake light. These LED units are all a bit witchcraft for my poor old brain Andy
