Stoplamp Switch
Well we have one glitch with the Handlebar replacement. Hubby didn't read in advance and seems to have knocked the Stoplamp switch loose (the switch that turns on your brakelights when you pull the front brake).
The problem is the lights work untilyou start the bike then the "rumble" vibrates it and the brakelights come on andstay on. This also affects my cruise control.
So the question is how to remedy this.The switch seems to work but is loose. Can anyone tell me if its cemented in or if maybe we lost a clip? I don't see a clip in the book (204 of the parts catalog #14). Need to get this remedied.

RE: Stoplamp Switch
Thanks.... for the info.
He's gonna pull it back apart and take another look but he says he checked the tip when he realized what he did and that is fine. Probably the wedge is missing, broken, or You can't tell its loose until you start the bike so it got missed...[&:]

RE: Stoplamp Switch
Glad you got it fixed. Your post enlightened me to information I did not find in my service manual, in fact the V wedge you are talking about doesn't appear in the exploded view in the parts catolog that I could find either.
I aplogize and am not trying to hijack your thread. I found here more information I was not aware of. My interest is in changing out the stock aluminum brake & clutch levers for black powder coated levers. I couldn't find anything on just swapping out the levers. Can anybody here tell me if its as simple as removing the retaining ring, pulling the pivot pin and reassembling it? Or will I have to disassemble and remove the switch housing? I'm okay with the clutch lever side, its this brake switch on the right I'm hoping for more information on.
