Front Brake light

[badseed]

Hi,
My front brake light does not work, it is most orobably about the switch since the light works with the rear brake pedal. Where is the switch for front brake light?
thx

It's screwed into the bottom part of the master cylinder casting underneath. It's just a mechanical switch I think.

Cheers, Mike

Where is the master cylinder, do you mean the brake cylinder on the tire?
thx

No, the brake cylinder on the handlebars which the front brake lever is connected to

if the problem is a worn swith...u can tear the switch apart...and modify it instead of getting a new one(it's not cheap here where i live)...
it comprises of a spring, plastic rod(something like a ball pen tube)with a metal piece in the middle to touch a metal clip inside....

Check the switch...clean it if there's dirt...but if the problem doesn't go away u can try this....

u can use a ball pen ink tube,wrap a metal plate around the middle...put the whole thing in....adjust to you liking by cutting the tube shorter....WARNING...if u cut too short...u'll have to start all over again...

bit at the end of the plastic rod with a metal piece is likey to be worn away just turn it around a bit to make work thats wot i did and it fine at the moment

If this is true then are there some BMWs that use the same levers and perches as the MZ?

[DAVID THOMPSON]

the parts book pictures at the above link look close
and i plan to check the lever on my rt125 on sat
yes SAT
if the dealer has that lever in stock
as the one on my saxon tour is bent a bit from a fall over while parked

??????32721242555 bmw ??????

but it may be wrong as bmw has always used magura as far as i know

the switch is a good number and have one in hand if i can find it in
the great abiss called my parts bin

see post on down the page

I managed to get hold of a switch from an older 250mz, it fits the same, good thing about mz is they have a good design and then stay with it! It cost me like £3 inc P&P and popped in, in about 5-10mins. Simply unscrew the front break leaver, pull the old one out and slide new one in, screw the lever back and and make sure you dont trap the rubber.
