How to: CBR Brake Switch Fix 

After reviewing this video and trying it myself. Finally got my brake light to work. Before it only worked for my rear brake. Thanks for the video!

just did this on my Royal Enfield , luckily the insides stayed together , cleaned the contacts and now works perfectly again , many thanks for the video ,

Very helpful. I googled the switch cause I had an issue. Led me right here. I took it apart and did what you did. Works like new!!!! THANKS!!!

Thank you very much for the tutorial David - I had exactly this problem on my CBR - I followed your instructions and now the brake light switch is functioning properly again. Many thanks.

yo man got cbr954rr with the same problem... didnt realise it was so easy to strip the micro switch i just took the cover off . a little sanding and elec contact spray and it sorted it out. didnt go as far as soldering but still worked thanx man huge help

2013... Thank you sir! It worked! but I didn't need the soldering gun. I just cleaned the connections with sandpaper by hand. I had one problem with the switch because the pieces and the spring felled out, but I manage to res amble everything again. Liked and Subscribed!

my brake light would just flash when i would hold the lever in. i saw this video took mine apart and just cleaned the spots that connect.put it back together and it worked great. thanks for the video 02 CBR954

Just did it on my CBR 600 F 00 IT WORKS. Thx bro. I will share this on my moto groups.

Thanks. Very helpful for fixing an intermittent switch on an 87 CBR 600. The solder to round up the contacts is a great idea.

cheers for this, my MOT is tomorrow and the switch was working intermitently. took it apart and a quick touch with a file and good to go. thanks

Worked like a charm on my '96 F3. Thanks, David!

Omg thanks man. Had the same problem on my 954rr and just fixed it by just sanding and cleaning.. I didn't had to melt anything down

Thanks man! Just solved the problem on my '82 cb650.

thanks on my vfr 800fi the spring jump of a hell to put it together but it works again thanks

Solder won't last as long as new, but it will work. Keep an eye on it. If you have access to silver solder and enough heat (a jeweler's torch is perfect) you can restore it to as new condition.

bro this was an awsome vid totaly worked thanks

Thanks alot. This did the trick!

Awesome! Thank you!!!!

After freeing a sticky throttle and replacing brake lever my brake light stopped working on front. Did all this with switch and still doesn't work. Works on Back brake. What else can I check? Liked!

does it matter which cable i put back on which pin on the switch? im all new to electronics and removed it without seing which cable sat on which pin....!

Did all this but didnt work. sanding the metal box that holds the spring did the trick!

it sure did but im affraid of plying out the black housing, i order a new switch from evay 9.00 bucks shipped.

What about if you think your break light is always on, i can hear the click using the back break but nothing happens but the front break does not have that click anymore so mmm?

Thanks brother!!! Easy freakin fix!!!

How did you get the wires off it?? I can't pull mine off :/ It looks exactly the same and is the same switch and everything

how did you put the little box bit with the moving connector back together

Easy way is to get it cleaned with good quality electric cleaner
