    Brake light???

    My brake light works with the front hand lever but not when I use the rear pedal. Can anyone help?

    Put your bike/model/year in signature to aid those who are poor at guessing!
    Check for voltage at rear brake switch (ignition ON)- one terminal will be 12 volt at all times, other terminal will be 12 volts when brake is applied. A multimeter is a must for suzuki owners.

      also make sure the rear switch is connected to the pedal by a small spring.
      that operates the switch

        They also are adjustable. It may be out of adjustment.
