Front brake light switch
« on: 07 September 2016, 04:31:40 pm »
Hi guys,

After replacing my front brake pads, my front brake switch doesn't quite come on soon enough. Is there any way of adjusting this? Does changing the brake lever span dial setting effect when the switch is activated?

Many thanks,

David.

No and no.
The switch is not adjustable and comes on when the lever moves a predefined amount. The Span setting is just adjusting how far you reach for the lever, not how far the lever moves.

You may be able to reposition the switch slightly by taking it off, cleaning the area then tightening the screws while pulling the switch back.
