Post subject: | Rear brake light switch? |
Hi guys, I realized this morning while checking my bike out before going to work, that my rear brake light does not come on when I depress the rear brake lever. The light comes on when I squezze the front lever, but regardless of how hard I step on the rear brake lever, the light will not come on. I looked in the forum for other people that have had this issue, and I was wondering if anyone knows what a good part # is for the replacement switch. As always, thank you all for your help. You guys are the best! Have a great weekend. Regards, Paul ![]() |

According to my dealer, this switch is obsolete. I guess I will have to convert to another style. Anyone have good luck with a replacement switch on these? Regards, Paul |

I prefer when possible to send my dollars to Bevel Heaven or Ed Milch any switch with the proper thread size will do, expect to match the electrical terminations to suit |

Hey guys, I went to change the rear brake light switch tonight, and I had a question regarding the brake line that the switch screws into. Is it possible to unscrew the switch, and not have any brake fluid leak out? Before I unscrew the switch, I want to make sure I am not missing anything. I am wondering if I should put hose pliers on the line, and clamp it off. As always, thank you for your help, and advice! Cheers Paul ![]() |

You could use the hose clamps and it will help but you will still get some air introduced anyway. It shouldn't need much bleeding and it's not a hard to do as long as you keep the reservoir topped up. |

Hey guys, I took off the rear switch to change it out, and I noticed I only have one copper washer between the rear hose. I looked at the parts diagram and there is supposed to be two washers. Has anyone tried to put the switch back using only one washer? It was not leaking, but, I really don't want to find out the hard way. I see that the washers are now obsolete. What do you think?

Paul , you can get those copper washers from heaps of places , any hardware shop , engineering supply shop , automotive brake shop , Yamaha , Honda ............bike shops In a lot of cases the last place you look for Ducati parts is a Ducati shop . Copper washers (for drain plugs too ) , circlips ,fuel line , throttle grips , spark plugs oil filters ect ect are available from "other" places heaps cheaper than a Ducati shop. Ideally you should replace those washers every time you remove them .... but unless they look damaged ( scored or squashed ) I use em again ![]() |
