Brake Light Switches
WARNING
Riding the motorcycle with defective
brake lights is illegal and dangerous.
Before riding the motorcycle, make
sure all lights are working.
Failure to follow the advice above
could result in serious injury or death.
The brake light is activated
independently by either the front or
rear brake. If, with the ignition in the ON
position, the brake light does not work
when the front brake lever is pulled
or the rear brake pedal is pressed, the
fault must be checked and rectified by
a competent person with the specialist
knowledge and technical understanding
of motorcycles, such as an authorized
Triumph dealer.
