    Brake indicator staying on but everything works fine?

    I was told by the previous owner that he put in brighter bulbs which was triggering the indicator light from time to time. Everyhting worked but it was buggin me so I put in stock bulbs to the bike, which is all stock. 83 GS1100E. Now that I put in the OEM bulbs the brake light are actually better and brighter but the indicator is on constantly. Any recomendations or ideas? Any help is good help!

    thanks,
    Pat

    Does the E have the mechanical slide switch under the front master cylinder? If so, this is probably damaged or out of adjustment. Beware of tiny spring-loaded things when disassembling. There is a tutorial on BassCliff's site.

      You are talking about the indicator light on the instrument panel, correct?
      This seems to be a common problem...
      The one on my 1100E is sometimes on and sometimes off.

      There has been a couple of threads about this, but I don't remember if there is a solution...
      Next time I have the instruments off, I'm just going to take out the bulb
