Rear brake pedal, front brake lever and rear brake light question

[BigPoppa]

A few weeks ago while riding at night I noticed that my rear brake light only came on when I pulled in the front brake lever. It wouldn’t come on when I pressed down on the rear brake pedal.

I confirmed that the rear brake pedal activates the rear brake fine.

Is it normal on the Trophy for the rear brake pedal to not activate the rear brake light?

Not looking for a diagnosis...if it’s normal behavior, fine but if the rear brake pedal should activate the rear brake pedal then I’ll have the dealer check it out when I drop it off for new tires.

Thanks in advance...

I would suspect that the rear brake switch is out of adjustment, or faulty.

The Rear Brake Pedal should definitely activate the Brake Light.

As Saddle Tramp says, the problem may lie with the switch needing adjustment or being faulty,
and that is probably the most likely cause, but it could also be that the Rear Brake Switch Relay is faulty,
or there is some other wiring problem.

The Rear Brake Switch Relay is behind the right side cover.

Thanks folks! I’ll have the shop check it out when I take it in for new tires.

Please report back as to what the problem was after your service.

The dealer adjusted the switch on the rear brake pedal. It was working but it required the brake pedal to be near the bottom of it's travel. They adjusted it so it activates much sooner in the brake pedal travel. Simple fix at no charge.

I also made the switch to Michelin Pilot Road 5's and I'll report back on how I like them compared to the OEM Pirelli's once I get some mileage on them.

Thanks for the tips all...

Good to hear it's all fixed and was nothing major
