New Owner - MN

Just bought a 2012 Ninja 650 (woohoo!). However, it seems my front brake isn't triggering the brake light to turn on. My rear brake triggers the brake light just fine though. Am I looking at replacing the brake light switch? If so, any good online places to shop?

Thanks!

Hi Josiah, it's good to meet you. Someone may know more specifics, but I'd just try the usual sources like motorcyclesuperstore.com or eBay, etc..

http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...light-switches

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kawasaki-Fro...FWgvst&vxp=mtr

You might try unplugging the wires from the switch and jumpering them together to see if the light comes on. That should tell you if the problem is in the switch, or something else.

Apparently it's important to have the cables plugged into the brake light switch . It was rusted out anyway, so I swapped it out with a new one and I'm good to go.

So it works now- great!

I grew up in the North side of the metro suburbs. Blaine, Anoka, Coon Rapids, that area.
