I noticed yesterday morning that my brake light wasn't turning on with the front brake lever.. I worked fine with the rear brake....
When I got home I fiddled with the brake switch and connector and it appears that the connectors was not making good contact. A little bending on the tabs on the switch and now the light works every time....
While testing it though I noticed that I pull the lever and hear a click but the brake light still isn't on.. I pull it in farther and the lights turns on.. That means with a light pull on the front brake I don't have brake lights....
So, my question is... When does you brake light turn on when pulling the brake lever? Is it right when it clicks or do you have to pull the lever in farther?
Also, can you see the wires on the back of the connector that plugs into the brake switch? I would have expected some kind of cover over the back of that connector but in my case I can see the wires..
I know the switch is a cheap part (< $15) but I figured I'd check before I order a part.. especially since my 2k12 is still under the Kawasaki extended warranty... I just don't trust many people to work on my vehicles...
