I just had my Bim MOT'd and front brake light wouldn't work, turned out to be the micro switch was u.s. Found out by shorting out switch and hey presto.

I replaced the switch, luckily I had one from an old alarm that fitted.
If yours is oblong with two holes running through it which screws underneath the lever,
then it's from the Ducati 907 range (with DC1 written on it).
The one I used was from a Datatool alarm
and was the underseat switch. My local bike dealer
reckoned that he could get me one if I'd showed it to him,
as various types have been used on various bikes. |
