Need Help - Front Break Lights

[ahoffme]

I posted a couple weeks ago asking for help with a leaky front master cylinder. Well I have since fixed tihs problem; however, now my front break lights are not working. They are working when I use the rear breaks. I checked the the the wire fittings on the handlebars and all seem tight. Has anyone had this issue before? Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Aaron

I would think that the front brakes actuate the brake lights only at the lever. When bleeding the brakes did you disassemble the lever at all?

there is a little sensor in the lever with a little magnet and it has to be fairly carefully positioned in order to work - you've probably knocked it out of whack. There is a tine little allen grub screw type of thing in there you can adjust it with. I just did away with mine and put a banjo switch on the front caliper

I also need help in adjusting the front lever magnet....

I have a switch doing my rear brake light as I have 3 circuits at the rear:
- rear light red
- brake light red
- indicators yellow

The front lever went wrong when I adjusted the angles of the controls :bang: . From that time sometimes the brake lights do not go off. Only when I put a small screw driver in between the magnet and the brake cylinder it goes off.

Seems that I have to adjust it - BUT HOW :angry:???

I adjusted the brake lever up and down - it stays the same. Only when I take out the screws and pull the lever away form the bar it goes off....

There is not even one word in the service manual how to adjust it.... (did I miss anything???)

How do you do it?? It is NO EHC problem!!!!!

Thx
Jochen

Sorry for being arrogant here and absolutely no help to your question,
but my bike does not have any front brake lights, just on the rear...
Got a couple running lights up front...
Too much Crown Black today I guess...
Hope you get it worked out..
