If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Yeah, it's supposed to come on. There is a little mechanical switch in a black plastic housing on the bottom side of the master cylinder. These need cleaned or replaced at this age. And then there's adjusting the stupid thing. It cost about $20 to replace the switch on my 850. You may be able to recondition yours. Be prepared to catch a tiny spring and other bits when you take it off. I hope the screws aren't rusted into the master.
Good grief, I've been answering a lot of your questions. It's like a replay of when I got my 850. Not complaining, just sayin' I've been there.

Hi,
Have a look:
Front Brake Switch Repair
(by Mr. gravity tester)
http://www.partsnmore.com sells replacement switches for $6. Unfortunately they have a $35 minimum order. But I'm sure you can find other stuff there that you need.
As Mr. Dogma mentioned, if you'd like to replace your mechanical brake switch with a hydraulic switch (10mmx1.0 thread), here are a couple of sources:

Thank you for your indulgence,
