749 Brake Light Switch

Discussion in '749 / 999' started by Russell w, Jan 26, 2018.

  1. my front brake light micro switch has started to play up,which I have read is quite a common issue.
    Has anybody tried to replace it with a generic inline pressure switch which are realitively cheap to buy.
    Any comments or reviews would be appreciated
    Cheers Russell

  3. The problem with mine turned out to be the connector in front of the tank.
    Gave it a good wiggling and it's been fine ever since

    Seem s to work ok. Activates the light with about half lever pressure.

  6. I'm not with the bike this week but I might order one of those and see if it sorts it for the sake of £8
    I've got a brembo master cylinder too, what part of the loom does this attach too?

  7. On my 998, the 2 thin wires coming from behind the headlight. I just cut the supplied connector off and spliced the wires in. 10 minute jobby
