brake light

[hipshaker]

got amonster 800. just realised that the front brake is not making the brake light come on when i use it. back brake is fine. any ideas? is this a common problem?

cheers.

One suggestion ... I had the same fault on my 999. Thanks to someone's suggestion here, I traced the wires from the switch at the brake lever to the bullet connectors, disconnected and re-connected them, and voila, it all started working again. Very simple, try that first before really starting to dig into the problem.
