Whilst putting my bike on the rear paddock stand on Sunday I unfortunately had a mishap and dropped it on it's RHS (blaming a big gust of wind).
I quickly got it back up and looked to see what had happened. At first it appeared as if I got away with it, but, tonight I realised the rear brake light doesn't come on when the pedal is pressed and the rear brake seems to have lost a bit of its stopping power.
I'm going to have a look this Friday when I have time; I'm assuming something must have bent and it's affected the brake switch? No idea really.
Light still works when front brake is pulled so I think i'm right in assuming it's not the fuse or bulb. I've had all the back fairing off tonight to check connections etc and they all look fine.
Seems like a pointless thread but I was hoping someone might have had a similar problem and be able to suggest what to check? ____________________ Current: Suzuki GSX650F (2010), Suzuki GSXR1000 K7, Suzuki GS250T (1980) currently restoring: Clicky.

I would guess at bent brake pedal, probably catching on frame or pegs. Should be easy to see and fix. ____________________ ...and the whirlwind is in the thorn trees, it's hard for thee to kick against the pricks...
