there should be a brake light adjuster...not sure where on one of those...my TLs one is tucked in behind rear brake adjuster.

Is it your brake lever? Mine does it sometimes too. You just need to loosen the front lever a tad

MSTRS here - is it the front or rear lever that is causing the problem? Front has a micro-switch that can stick (you should be able to hear it 'click' when you work the lever)...just give it a good squirt of CRC or the like and operate repeatedly for a bit. That will generally fix it. The rear (normally a spring/slide unit?)...never had a problem with that, but would imagine the CRC thing would work there too.

Nah mate - not a sticky lever - a sticky micro-switch!!! that operates when you work the lever. The front brake one is a little pin that sits under the fluid reservoir and is operated by a flat plate on the lever. Look and you will see it. It also should 'click' (unless it is sticking)

if the micro switch clicks then check that the contacts (plugs ) havent been pushed together.Be sparing with the crc around brake components.
Otherwise look down the back and see if its the rear light

i have replaced the light but it already had this problem. i played around with the rear adjuster thingy on the footpeg and im sure ive nearly got it solved
