Yamaha brake light may not illuminate when the front brake lever is applied because the activating mechanism in the front brake switch can bind.
The short version
YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION, USA reported a problem with the brake lights switch. Here is what owners need to know.
THE BRAKE LIGHT MAY NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE FRONT BRAKE LEVER IS APPLIED BECAUSE THE ACTIVATING MECHANISM IN THE FRONT BRAKE SWITCH CAN BIND.
WHEN THE MOTORCYCLE OPERATOR APPLIES ONLY THE FRONT BRAKE, THE BRAKE LIGHT MAY NOT COME ON TO ALERT OTHER DRIVERS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
YAMAHA DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW FRONT BRAKE SWITCH FREE OF CHARGE.
