Brake light switch

hey giys I have a 94 CBR 900 RR

The handbrake doesnt make the brake like come on the foot brake does but you have to push it really really hard it doesnt lite up for easy braking

Does anyone know if theres an adjustment

and anyone have an idea about the handbrake switch?

There is an adjustment for the rear brake light switch, the front is non adjustable..either it works or it dont!! You will have to replace the switch if that is the problem. Did you check the connection on the switch ( front)???

Yea get you one of those orange triangles you see on tractors and tape it to your bike or your bike. And use hand signals so you dont get splattered. ok, that was dumd and ill shut up now.

ok so where is the adjustment for the rear brake switch?
I looked around some and didnt see anything

Heres a pic of what IM lookin at
Is it what I have circled?

Well I found the foot brake switch and adjusted it accordingly

Which wire works the handbrake brake light switch?
I hear it cliking but no light :(

Clicking and no light --

1) switch is bad
2) connector is loose

If not one of the above I'll give ya a million dollars. Well, maybe a nickel.

How can yo change the switch?
change the whole housing?

Of course model specific information is different but generally the switch is held on by one or two phillips head screws and mounts under the lever. Just follow the clicking sound as you apply and let off the brake. Just remove the screws and unplug wires going to it.

To absolutely rule out anything else, jumper the leads going to the switch (connect them using a wire) and turn on ignition switch. Brake light should be on. If you have the leads jumpered and the brake light does not come on then you have a problem somewhere else.

To test the switch, attach an ohm meter to it. As you push the button in and out the reading should go from infinite (error) to a number (not sure what that is for your switch).

Good luck

thx man ur awesome!!!!!!!!
Ill check it out later

switch is faulty when I touch the 2 together it lights up
