    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Front hand brake - spring loaded

Hey there,

I have just bought myself an 84 Suzuki GS400 and trying to get it ready for the road. However I am trying to figure out what I am missing. I've contacted my local suzuki parts dealer and they ordered me in a brake light switch assembly which is this style:

I tried installing as is but every time I would press the brake handle the light would come on and stay on after releasing. Is there a spring that sits on the contact holder that retracts it from touching the switch that's missing? I've been calling around and looking everywhere but can't seem to find anything.
 
the holes that the 2 screws go thru should be slots allowing for some adjustment. try loosening the screws and moving the unit back and forth a little to see if the lights work right.
 
I'll give that a go. From what you call tell though is that assembly everything I should need? Or is there something that should be sitting between the handle and the contact holder?
 
that should be all you need. maybe the little plastic piece on the right (in your picture) isn't engaging the brake handle correctly.
