Brake lights

[Las Vegas Biker]

Can anyone tell me how to adjust the sensitivity of the brake lights? Mine only come on when i put full pressure to the pedal. When i just use the brake to slow down some no brake light at all.

Thanks Terry #696

The switch is under the seat down on the brake booster. I can not remember if there was an adjustment to it or not.

I would check the level of the brake fluid. I think it is just a pressure switch with no adjustment.

Part true !! The black switches (both) have a plunger that is engaged by the brake assembly that brakes or makes electrical contact for the brake lights, cruise control and allows you to take the gear shift out of park. If those contacts are not aligned properly that may be the problem of having to fully press on the brake pedal to engage the circuit for the brake lights. I had several switches that went bad on me so I took the switch apart (new model) and realigned the contacts and have not had any issues for almost 40k miles since.

Have replaced the whole switch and now works great. Had damage to the switch from rocks.
Thanks for all the help and tips.

Thoroughbred MotorSports has one. Requires re-wiring but is not hard to do if you have some mechanical ability.
