Modern Vespa

Hi everyone

I thought i would share my fix with you all

I had some trouble with my brake light being stuck on and the switch not registering that I had un-pressed the brake.

I took the front handlebar casing off and the sensor is at the top of the brake lever with two small female wires attached. I unclipped the wires and unscrewed the sensor, I noticed that the senor is a clicker that work in a reverse way so as you ride it is engaged and when you brake it disengages.

What I found is that when my brake lever was returned to an un-braking position it was not enabling the sensor.

The sensor button itself is about 1mm across and about 3mm high, I was going to glue an extra piece of plastic on top but it was going to be a bit fiddly and I might have glued the sensor in place.

What I did was take a ear bud cut of the buds, heat it up a little then slid the ear bud tube over the existing sensor (this will make sense when you see the sensor) I played around with height of the tube to get the best brake light response, i screwed it back in and now it all works fine.

The switches are very cheap and every dealer has a stock.
