Consumer Description

WHEN APPLYING THE FRONT BRAKES, UNDER LIGHT BRAKING SITUATIONS, BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT TURN ON. I BROUGHT THE MOTORCYCLE TO THE DEALER WITH MY CONCERN AND THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. SINCE I FIRST NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT NOT COMING ON WHEN THE FRONT BRAKE WAS APPLIED, I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE EVENT WITH CONSISTENT RESULTS. I HAVE A STRONG CONCERN THAT WHILE HOLDING THE BRAKE AT A FULL STOP AND WITH NO BRAKE LIGHT ACTIVE, THAT I AM SUSCEPTIBLE TO A REAR END COLLISION.
