Premium Member Mr.Puss Posted February 24, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 24, 2016 Apologies if this has already been covered here but I couldnt find any info from searches.... Has anyone had their foot brake pressure switch stop functioning? No amount of pressure will activate the light. My bike has been sitting idle in a parkade and I just noticed this issue. Even though it has a rubber boot, could the heavy dust be the culprit? Suggestions? Thanks cats! Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women. Fuss Life.

Premium Member so1102 Posted February 24, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 24, 2016 There is a locknut on it that you can loosen, and another to adjust it. see here: http://fz07.org/thread/4513/shifter-rear-brake-adjustments Also, clean it if you can, and spray it with a little graphite powder.

AlbatrossCafe Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 hehe my favorite subject... I ride in the rain & on gravel a lot so mine has been a pain in the ass as it sticks frequently and needs to be cleaned. To be clear, only the light is not working, correct? The brake is fine? I ask because they are two independent things - one does not rely on the other. There is a little plunger thing with a loop coming out of it. As you push on the brake lever, a spring attached to the lever pulls that loop out of the plunger assembly, which triggers the light. I would start here and make sure that this is connected first. You have to take the rear set off to comfortably reach it. Try pulling the loop with your hands and see if you can trigger the brake light that way.

Premium Member Mr.Puss Posted February 25, 2016 Author Premium Member Share Posted February 25, 2016 Yeah its still under warranty but Im just going to figure it out following everyone's advice, (BTW thanks guys) besides I like fixing things and the more I tinker the more I learn. What's a parkade? @beemer my good man, in your 'southern' colloquial speech its a parking garage or parking deck, and perhaps a car park. ex: "I threw on my toque, hopped in the car and sped from the parkade to the jar store for a 'two-four' and a mickey of gin and threatened the cashier with a robertson screw driver because he didnt have any homo milk."

I just couldnt pass up the opportunity to throw around some canuckistanian-isms. I know most of you military cats have been around the block more than a few times...especially yourself as a Vietnam vet. The thing about me is that I'm never/rarely offended. I managed through an extremely strict military-esque year and a half tattoo apprenticeship under a talented, albeit crazy (as they all are) CDN ex-airborne friend of mine so having a very thick skin was a definite prerequisite. I can take it from the best of 'em and happily dish it out and as such I've never filled out a "Hurt Feelings Report". Crush your enemies. See them driven before you.

Premium Member forcefed86 Posted February 25, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 25, 2016 so i messed with mine and now the rear brake light doesnt come on while stepping. i adjusted the foot peg to make it somewhat level with my foot. i noticed the light not coming on like before so i put it back where it was and still the light doesnt trigger. the second i touch the front brake light comes on, ill figure it out later i guess.

manny826 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 My bike those the same thing. I adjusted it and sometimes the switch would get stuck so but I'd figured after a couple of warm days of riding it should loosen up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Mr.Puss You did see a photo of me standing in front of what could easily be mistaken for a Vietnamese mud hut but that was actually a Korean mud hut with straw thatched roof taken during peace time on the DMZ in 84'. The other pic you saw was taken @ Tent City or "Warrior Base" just below Pyonggang. Our battalion pulled guard for our commander in chief, president Reagan there when he visited Korea. It was an honor but I liked it better when the Dallas Cheerleaders visited us at Christmas. Ol' Ronnie just doesn't compare to a Texas hottie hug. Oh yeah, I was like 8 yr's old in 67' and I wanted to go to Vietnam but my mom said I had to finish grade school first. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
