Guest Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I went out on my bike tonight. when i got bike i checked the brake light and when i pull the front brake lever thet brake light does not come on. i press down the back brake and it lights up like normal. i checked this only a week or so and it was fine but now this. im sure its the same bulb for both brakes.what could be causing this ? its dangerous like that especially i use the front brake 95% of the time.thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argentum40 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 sounds like the front brake light switch has gone down... they are only a couple of quid to replace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 ah ok was worried about the cost is it easy to access and change ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argentum40 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 they are failry easy to change but with regards to access it depends on the bike mate,,, last one i did was a doddle and only took about 5 mins and 2 spade connectors to swap over..

Guest Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 so all i need is that switch and i can change it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argentum40 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 well if it were me i would try and locate the switch first then check it with a multi tester to see if the switch is faulty.. if you dont have a tester and unless any of the other guys can think of anything else then for me its a new switch, replace it and bobs ya uncle..

eastanglianbiker Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 switch is normally at the rear or just under the brake lever either push fit or held on with 2 small screws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Hi i checked it. its at the front. the brake leaver has a little ball on it. when the ball moves away from the switch the brake light doesent work. i tired toggling the switch with my finger but it still didnt work so im assuming its dead. il ring the honda dealer tomorow and see if they can get me one in.
