ST1300A - No brake lights when using Front Brake Lever
« on: July 23, 2013, 06:09:20 PM »
Has anyone had this problem and had to change the front brake switch?  I came back from the Biloela overnight RTE only to have a "cage" driver come up beside me to tell me I had no brake lights. Any hints on how difficult it is to change the switch would be appreciated.   cheers Dicko :blk13

cheers Biggles.  I will give it a squirt and see what happens.  I cannot hear any click when I pull on the lever so I am thinking I may be up for a new switch. :-[
