Rear brake switch location

[jimmyenglish]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm in the process of taking my 86' to inspection here soon and one of my sure fail issues is there is no rear brake switch. I delinked last year and simply put a plug in the splitter for the rear. I don't remember seeing a pressure switch and I can't remember if the rear brake ever lit the light at all. Is it a pressure switch? Eithier way, I know they're on ebay but I'm not sure where it plugs in and there is no mechanical type switch anywhere on the bike.

 

Where does it go?

 

Thanks!

It is a mechanical switch located adjacent to the master cylinder.

The rear brake switch is not physically connected to master cylinder. It works off a spring connected to the pivot shaft that brake pedal is attached to. Spring is on inner side of frame. Look in beside right side of rear wheel looking forward.
