Good day everyone - I have an issue with the brake light not coming on when using the foot pedal. In order for the light to come on I have to push the pedal to the point it almost locks up the back wheel. When I use the hand brake the light comes on instantly as one would expect it to.
I was hoping I would be able to adjust a switch the pedal activates, but I don't see a switch that can be adjusted.
I found an electrical connection behind the passenger foot rest cover where the junction for brake lines meet.
So I am thinking the electrical connection is a pressure switch that is activated by fluid pressure while pressing the foot pedal.

Am I correct and can this be adjusted some how?

Thanks everyone

So I found it's a pressure switch with no adjustment capabilities .
I'll swap it out and see if it is better.
 
Looks like the same kind of pressure switch I replaced on my ex-Harley. Be fast and you don´t even have to bleed the brake.

In my case the same switch was used on several cars so I went to a local auto part store and got for alot less (only a few €) than I would have had to pay for the original Harley part.
