Nitrous
Hi all. Hope this hasn't been covered before but... My front brake light switch recently became intermittent, found out at the garage during my annual Warrant of Fitness, the good mechanic still gave me the warrant but told me to get it sorted, I sprayed it with concact cleaner and it seemed to solve the issue. Just checked it today and it had stopped altogether.
In the US they are only $15 from Bike Bandit, however the freight costs boost this somewhat. Then the fear over being shafted by the local dealers here for what is essentially a micro-switch led me to have a close look at mine.
I easily opened and cleaned it, then refitted it in half an hour.
The points in the micro-switch are very poor and meet on an angle.
I used an old points file to clean them i use on my old bikes with points.
The fix is easy.
I took some pics and made a quick instruction, it may help someone?
