Brake Light Intermittent on front brake
« on: December 11, 2016, 09:31:57 AM »
I happen to notice my brake light on occasion stays on when I apply my front brake - I found by turning the small set screw in the plunger rod I was able move the lever so it releases from the micro switch more  accurately. Is there a procedure for setting this clearance on the front lever?

Thanks

Indirectly, there is a procedure, but we should make a more general explanation in the "manual" itself:

I've made a sketchy description which you are welcome to improve upon!
