I've been running down a few electrical gremlins on my bike and yesterday I realized that I don't have any brakelight when I use the front brake. Is the switch mounted at the hand lever? I've been through the manual and it's not clear. Could someone take a pic of how it's mounted? My perches look stock but I dont see how the switch would mount.

follow the brake line from the pump to the splitter at the lower triple clamp. There`s a pressure switch. Check TAV.18 of the parts caatlogue.

I've recently replaced the stock brakelines at the front with stainless steel lines. Just two lines from the pump to the calipers. Still have to add a micro switch on the ps13 pump lever instead of the pressure switch. Léon

Bevel Heaven has either of the lever mounted switch required when you loose the junction block and pressure switch with braided lines

According to Ducati the stock switch has been discontinued. There's a local auto parts store in my area that caters to guys who do a lot with European imports. I took the old switch to them and he pulled a generic one from the shelf. The difference is it had the tapered pipe thread. He ran a 10mm x 1.0 die down the threads, cleaned it up and it works perfectly. Total cost; $22.50.
