Brake light switches

Postby edec » Wed Aug 24, 2011 4:03 pm

Can someone please tell me what I can do for front and rear brake light switches on my 01 Baghira? The rear never works and the front needs to be "jiggled" just right to get it to work (intermittently at best).
Thanks, Ed

front switch i think is from 1980/81 bmw r80 r65/r45 that types and years
rear is standard ktm part show old one to ktm dealer
but i use the old style spring pull type as i have blown 4 of them on the rt125
as the brake puts them under tooo much pressure and they last just days

Thank you David for your response. As for the "old style spring pull type" you mentioned, are those different from the the ones you stated and if so would they fit the Baghira?
