Whilst giving my bike the once over today, i found that my front brake didnt illuminate the brake light. Have checked connections and cleaned them. Still no joy. Do these normally break?

Very common failure......any decent bike shop will have a pattern part, tis a Nissin cylinder that's used on loadsa bikes.

Yes ii`ve been down the cheap road before and fitted to cheaps one that lasted only a few months..nissin use ALPS a japanese maufacturer to source their switches...

Pattern switches I sell are far superior to the OEM item.......fit and forget for 6 quid.

I stripped my OEM switch down, cleaned the contacts reassembled & has been operating fine fer over a year,mind you it was supposed to be a temp fix until i purchased a new one(not)

Get in there!!! Back of the net!!! Just went out to garage to put some bike spares on ebay for my old man and found a brand new switch. Cant do better than FREE. I now have a brake light woop woop. Thats made my very boring day.
