    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

i am having a intermittent brake light failure, it seems my brake light wont work if i turn of the lights. with the light on it works when it wants to and sometimes even stays on. with the lights on low or high it has a mind if its own. doesent really make a difference if i use the rear, front or both but i have noticed when i use the front it sometimes will come on and go back off but then sometimes it will come on and stay on:confused: i have disassembled the front brake switch and cleaned the contact it did not seem to help any. was wondering if any1 has encountered a problem like this before or has any suggestions
 
Look at the brown waffle board and youll notice that at one end of the 2 contact rails is a round raised spot molded into it. That round spot has to be on the end that goes toward the end of the bars. When you squeeze the lever, the U shaped thing rides down off thatb raised spot and shorts across the rails to complete the circuit..when you let go the U shaped thing rides back up on the raised spot and breaks contact and the light goes out. You may have the board in backwards.. Then you have to just keep the 2 screws just a tad loose and slide the waffle board around with a small flat tip till you find the sweet spot where they work just as you squeeze the lever. Tighten the screws and recheck the lever a few times. On the back..Youll see that the switch is held on the mount with a jamming nut system. Loosen the nuts and adjust them up or down till you get the foot lever set as you like it.
