Brake light switch

[Genuinedrummer]

On my '82 650gl the front brakelight switch wasnt working so i took the cover off the switch assembly and lost the contact and whatever else was inside. I'm not sure what all i need to buy and how to go about replacing the switch. any advice is greatly appreciated!

I'm assuming your bike is a Z model (double check this), if it is you only need this part:

57465-18601

On the x model its a little more complicated. Some with suggest you upgrade this part, but if you want a cheap quick fix, this way is only $3.

Hi,

partsnmore.com has the whole brake switch assembly for $6. Unfortunately, they have a $35 minimum order.

See the Front Brake Switch Repair guide on my website to familiarize yourself with the assembly.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

If you can't find $35 of things you want at partsnmore.com, CRC2 has the part for $9, plus about $6 shipping:

I've also seen a banjo bolt with integrated switch. Considered an upgrade?
