For some reason, my tail light works but the brake light doesn't light up when I hit either brake. I thought it might need an entire new tail light, so I bought the OEM tail light but the brake light won't work with it either. I recently replaced all fuses under the front left fairing. Could it be a bad fuse under the seat? Some of you might remember that I recently blew some fuses a couple of ...
Yeah, adjust the rear switch, by adjusting the black plastic nut behind the
right rear set. It is prolly so tight that it is always engaging the brake
light

Thanks for the advice, guys. I'll give it a try in a couple of days when I get back home.
I always thought ...
he said it doesn't light up with either brake, geniuses! i doubt it's the rear brake switch.
unless the OP is so smart he can't tell the difference betwixt when the tail light is just on and the brake light is always engaged.

this is the easiest option. just get race skins and you won't have to worry about your brake light no mo!
Awesome, thanks. I'll give it a shot and let you know what happens. Do these switches usually go bad over time like a stator does, or does the bike need to suffer some damage (dropped or wrecked) in order to render the switch useless?

Could be the brake light switch on the lever. It depresses and completes the circuit. Take it off and see. Are these aftermarket or stock levers? The rear is controled by a sprin attached to the brake pedal. Take a look at that as well.
Try www.bikebandit.com Not saying to buy there, BUT, if you go to the OEM section, they have great schematics and part breakdowns. You can easily find the name, and part number you need and then shop around for it or even try ebay... Good luck!
Was having the same issue, but mine was with a ca light. The advice here, and my manual, cleared it right up. Oh and i feel your pain I didn't know if mine was lighting up either.
