Brake Switch issues

[Red Ryder VT]

It appears that I have a brake switch that is stuck on.

The brake lights are always on and you can start the machine without putting your foot on the brake pedal.

How does one replace that switch?

Thanks

The brake switch is a maintenance item and needs to cleaned from time to time. Did you clean it? You would be surprised what a rinse from a garden hose or shot from an air hose will do.

Check for crud on the switch. If you have been riding through mud--that may be the problem. A sticking switch will also lead to limp mode because the :ani29: will think you are riding the brake.

I had one bust... It was about $110 to replace it. :dontknow:

Of course this shouldn't be necessary but a few folks here have added a small booster spring ( from Home Depot , Lowe's, Walmart etc ) to add some ummph to the stock spring....... and/or try and keep it clean, but it's not easy because it tends to get dirty where it is ....... Mike :thumbup:
