Front brake pressure switch

Not sure if I've got the right name of it but I've noticed, on my bike anyway, that the little switch behind the front brake lever that activates the brake light when releaved, is held on by one screw and now pivots out of position which at worst stops my brake light coming on. I didn't see a spare screw hole to stop this pivoting but I'm wondering if im missing something. Any ideas?

Was concerned if I cranked the screw up more I'd strip the threads

Switch should have a round pin sticking out of it that engages with a matching hole in the master cylinder

interesting, i guess that might be it. i was trying to see the bit you mean on lings http://www.lingshondaparts.com/honda_motorcycle_parts_selection_pfk.php?block_01=13MY5WEA&block_02=F__0300&block_03=1625 

but the pics arent that detailed. recons theres a bodge solution for it?

Don't know. Can you post a picture of the problem area so we can have a butchers...

There's a picture on DSS site showing the 'pin' that fits on the hole. Can you see a mark on the case where it broke off? I reckon if you put some deep scratches in it you mightget some epoxy to stick, then file a new 'pin'

i might have a switch if you need one.

thanks everyone, I'll have a look and see if i can bodge something together first, in the interim, i've torqued up the bolt and its holding fine.

If it moves a gain just get a new pattern switch there about £5 !
Not worth pissing about

think ive got a switch you can have. ?

Yeah i would like to give it a bash if its going spare Tricky. Cheers

PM me your address and i'll wing it over (if i can find it, lol).

Beware of cheap pattern switches. I had one die within a few months. Luckily I have several spare master cylinders and just robbed a switch off one.

The very cheap one off eBay didn't even fit and the screw-hole broke off under the force of the screw.
The genuine part is the only real option I feel.

have you received this yet Graham?

Hi Tricky, yeah thanks it came friday afternoon, thanks for doing that, I owe you one.

blimey, that took its time!

No perfect timing really. I was very happy to find it in the top box tonight when the old one finally gave up on the way home.
