Hey folks I need to find a front brake switch for an RG125. Breakers just told me to get a new one only problem is where can I get the switch for a 1993 RG125 Wolf?

I've searched the net but come up empty. I'm also concerned that riding around with no brake light activating on the front brake is dangerous even though im slightly pressing the rear to make the light come on whenever I use the front.

Any websites that sell them that you know of would be great.

It's only in recent times that there's been switches on the front brake, but if you're using the brakes properly you should be applying the back one just after the front anyway.

If it's got a hydraulic disc, you can get a top banjo bolt with a switch built in.

Look at suzuki-spares based in redar. the microswitch should only be about £2.
You could probably use one off a different bike as they all do the same thing.

Have you tried talking to real people? Smile

Think about the number of parts per bike there are, then the number of bikes there are. That's one bloody massive system to keep maintained on the internet.

Get a copy of MCN and ring up the companies offering spares in there Thumbs Up.

As guest mentioned; you can get a banjo with a switch in.
While I would argue that it's not so good form to be using the back brake often, in this case it'd definitely be worthing tapping it a tad while applying the front brake.

Phone Robinsons in Canterbury, Kent

Suzuki Mailorder 01227 454366

if you're lucky and Michelle answers you're home and dry. Have the bike model (exact - RG 125F 1996 for example) ready and your credit card. Tell her exactly what you want and if it's in stock you'll get it in a couple of days.
