Hello, so I am having a minor problem with my bike, the rear brake light is constantly on. If I pull the lever or press the foot brake, the light does not change. I have looked it up and seen that it is caused by the rear brake switch sticking, and I just have to adjust a bolt. Which bolt? Haha. Can someone provide a picture as I can see a bunch of nuts and bolts that seem to be connected to the rear brake switch.

Thank you!

Try a good bit of WD40 first and press / release the brake pedal a few times and see if it frees off. Sometimes they get jammed up with road muck.

After doing some more investigation -

The front brake makes a very slight click sound, if I pull the brake the light stays on, I have to manually push the lever back to it's original position to make the light go off.

The rear brake does nothing to the light until it is almost fully depressed, so light braking will not fire the lights, which is pretty bad.


So I need to make the front brake lever spring back to it's original position (it feels quite loose and wobbly) and also make the rear brake light more sensitive.


The rear brake light is on all the time unless I push the front brake lever back in to place.
