V11 EV delinking brakes and brake light.
« on: November 17, 2017, 07:45:40 PM »
The brake distributor activates the brake light, right? Now that's the distributor is gone what's a good switch to use and whats the best way to hook it up? I have the lines all set up. Will bleed it this weekend.

Thanks, Ed

There are pressure switches that are integrated with banjo bolts.  Get one of those and put it on a handy banjo joint.  Extend wires from the old brake switch wires as needed or splice into the other brake switch wires -- whichever is handier.  Do this before you bleed the brakes.

You will need to replace both the front and rear master cylinders.  Get master cylinders that have the brake switch included.

I got a used front MC from a big Kawi that had dual disks up front. It's huge. It should be fine. Leaving the stock rear MC for now. I rarely use the rear brake. I bled them today. Didn't ride but they pumped up tight.
Thanks
