Does anyone have a front brakelight switch off the lever so they can easily measure the little return spring?
I bought a new switch for my GT500, but there was no spring in the pack. I've been trying various small springs (out of Biros etc) but can't quite get it to work.
I need the diameter and length of the spring. Switch is the flat type that screws to the underside of the front disc brake lever.
Fr Brakelight Switch spring size?

If you're not a stickler for stock, get yourself ahead of the game and get an inline pressure switch.. It takes place of the stock banjo at the MC. It has 2 wires that wire in the same as the flimsy mechanical switch. No adjustments. Just slap it on and go. I used one of these for the rear brake on my converted to hydraulic cafe. They work great. Like this:

I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.
