Brake lights on all the time?

[Profimon]

Hi All,

Yesterday I noticed that my rear lights on all the time. What to check?

As I understand rear lights during the day should be on only when you are pressing front or rear brakes?

In my experience with other bikes (don't have the Tenere yet) this is most commonly caused by an out of adjustment rear brake light switch or a rear brake light switch that is stuck due to dirt / debris.   I'd start by looking at the switch (by your right heel as you are astride the bike) and checking for adjustment - debris.

Hi Dimitry tail light will be constantly on as a running light and It should get brighter when breaks are applied, hope this helps.

Yes I have the same problem. I think it must be common as my friends T7 is also doing it. I am going remove the footrest  & bracket and see if it is full of mud as you cant get to it without doing so. The break light is on all the time so must be stuck. 

 

Just has a look its well hidden and can't get to it without removing the OEM centre stand bash plate and footrest bracket. I will sort in a few weeks when I take the bike off the road as I intend to give the shock, swing arm and everything a good greasing. 

 

Aa a temporary measure I have unplugged it from behind the off side black panel so the front now works the break light, not exactly legal but better than notworking at all

Hi,

 

Finally I fixed the problem that time. Pay attention to the spring of the rear brake cylinder. It can be removed and adjusted by stretching )).
