So, I recently noticed that when i turn the key to the "on" position, the brake light is constantly on. I hold the brake and it doesnt get any brighter. Anyone have a clue as to what could be the problem?

Follow the rear brake pedal to where the "plunger" is. It will have a piece that moves into another piece. It lives behind that guard,.. but you can get a WD40 straw in there. Jay's advice is good,... just lubricate it as good as Jay sounds.

I found the "plunger" and i fixed the problem. Apparently, the plunger had moved a bit so it wouldnt let the spring let the switch go back to the off position. I rotated it abit, tightened it, and wd40'd it just for some good ol' lubing.

And now it works perfect.

Thanks for the help both of you

Alright!! Great to hear you got it working.

I might as well tell you now though, that there's a chance you'll be lubing it periodically from now on. We do Dita's about 2 times a riding season, but she also gets ridden in some nasty weather.
