rear brakelight not working

[kriss]

mot time this week and checking the rear brakelight is working on front lever but not on footbrake. if its the preasure switch are they a standard size/fit if so what size is that ? many thanks in advance have bridged the 2 pin conector from switch and brakelight came on so not wiring so guess that pesky switch will need replacing. if some-one could give me size or are they all standard

was told system might want bleeding so will bleed tomoz. ive found some size 10x1.25 so would that be 10mm diametre and 1.25 is thread pitch or am i just a thick so and so

think i may have found an easier solution and that is fit a normal switch. just plugged one in and works fine. will take hanger off tomoz drill and tap and shorten the spring i have to suit and hopefully jobs done.

wicked stuff, can you remember what size you bought ? was it the 10 x1.0 or the 10 x 1.25 or other

Not sure on pitch thread - I have a brembo rear cylinder and this one was recommended by the workshop who gets the Raptor when I can't fix it.

As far as I'm aware the rear brake is the same on both 650 & 1000 - sorry probably not much help, but then I am a mere girl

I am constantly being nagged by a mate about my rear brake - usually "what do you need that for...." but hey it has more uses than the front

from another sales listing

"When using with Brembo master cylinders use '10 x 1.00mm Short' option.

-03 Copper crush washers are also required when fitting any 10 x 1mm or 10 x 1.25mm banjo bolts (x2 for single bolt, x3 for double bolt)"

If you go down to your friendly nut and bolt shop they will have a pitch gauge and will be able to check it for certain. A finer thread(smaller pitch) has less chance of coming undone.
