So, I noticed something today about my brake lights. The rear brake engages the lights first before the brake itself. As it should. But while getting ready to head out to work, I noticed that I had a good .25 inch of lever travel AND braking before I got the distinctive click of the lights coming on. I had my wife verify for me.
How would I go about fixing this issue. This could cause some serious rear wheel distortion in some traffic conditions if I use the front instead of the bake brake.
 
There is a set screw for the front brake switch, but I am not sure if it has any adjustments... just looked at mine as well and the lever travels about 1/2 inch before the switch clicks. But that is before the brakes start biting.
 
My bike is the same, there is a little bit of travel before you hear the "Click" sound of the brake light switch.
