I have always done a safety check of all lights on my Tiger each spring whe=
n it get warm out and will be doing so again soon.   I did this even before=
 I had a switch on the brake pedal.   I do this in the garage with the door=
 closed so I can see when the lights are on.

 

I always do a safety check before any trip.   Bulbs burn out or lose ground=
, they need to be checked regularly.

So perhaps the other question is how often to folks check that their brake =
lights are coming on as soon as they want them to?  It used to be that when=
 I was at a stoplight, and a car pulled up behind me, I'd routinely look at=
 the reflection in the bumper or grille to see if my brake lights were on, =
and I'd test with light pressure too.  When was the last time a car with ch=
rome pulled up behind us?!

B382000471 still has an original mechanical switch installed over 20 years =
ago. We have used silicone brake fluid for decades and drain and flush peri=
odically. As usual, when purchased I bought a spare. Dan has it now if you =
want more info.
