Hi all,

My yz490 is without a light switch for its rear brake at the moment, is this a requirement for the MOT? I have a fully functioning front brake light switch.

Ta,
Jack

Yes.

It is tested on the test.

Obviously really , when you are braking with the rear light, you want people behind you to know, so they aren't going to go in to the back of you.

I understand the logic, however my bike was manufactured in 1982 so may be exempt from having to have a rear brake light switch if this information is correct:

Tape up all the lights and they won't test them.

Yep, anything before '86 is exempt, and only needs one brake light switch.

We have a winner.

The brake switch can be on either the front or rear brake. Also exempt from having indicators.

Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989 Schedule 7: Part I wrote:
Direction indicator exceptions; Motor cycle

A vehicle having a maximum speed not exceeding 25 mph;
A vehicle first used before 1st April 1986;
A vehicle which is constructed or adapted primarily for use off roads (whether by reason of its tyres, suspension, ground clearance or otherwise) and which can carry only one person or which, in the case of a motor bicycle combination, can carry only the rider and one passenger in the sidecar.


Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989 Schedule 12: Part I wrote:
10. Electrical connections-
(a) Every stop lamp fitted to-
(i) a solo motor bicycle or a motor bicycle combination first used on or after 1st April 1986 shall be operated by the application of every service brake control provided for the use of the rider;

After a brske switch for my bike also a rear. Cannot find one anywhere.

My MOT isn't til the summer but still a piece of mind would be nice as I will be using my rear brake more than the front in this gorgeous weather Neutral

Where the hell could I get one?

Any ideas?

Or will I just have to fork out and get a new master cylinder?

Ta Thumbs Up

I gave away 2 about a month ago Laughing

I'm pretty sure it's just a banjo fitment pressure switch on the Senda, do none of the Derbi parts suppliers have them?

Is part number 00H01001701 correct for your bike? There are multiple places you can get that part. Approx £20.
