- Welcome back to the only channel that will never ask for likes or subscribe’s. I’m not here to monetize, I’m just here to put out useful content that will hopefully help my fellow DIY’ers.
2019+ Desert Sled’s got a new rear brake switch sensor that easily breaks away from the mounting tabs, leaving your brake light always on. In this video, I replaced this horrible design with a $20 banjo switch/hydraulic switch from Amazon and documented all the steps involved.

I didnt even notice this was a smaller channel, though it had 100k subs. Keep up the good work
Hey thank you, that’s a big compliment! I’m just trying to make real content that actually helps people with their projects (or that are fun for me) and not pander to the algorithms.
Any feedback or advice for this novice video maker would be greatly appreciated.
love it not a sellout to the algo! (TOP 10 MODS DUCATI DOESN'T WANT YOU TO DO!!!!!!!) lol@@ADHDiy_Guy
Maddively appreciate the effort and the thorough explanation here. Super helpful and saved me just replacing the OEM switch through ignorance.
Nice detailed video. Thanks for the time and effort on sharing
You are welcome! I know I am not the only one who has had this problem, so I wanted to make the job seem more in reach for the average driveway mechanic.
Very good upgrade and video. I’m sure it will come in handy at some point on my Sled.
Thanks a lot for this one!
Had this happen to me too. TNX for the solution
Great Video. Thanks for the effort. Couleur you provide a link to the hydraulisch switch you used?
Whats the bolt size thread pitch for the new hydraulic switch?
Great video. Will be doing this mod this weekend. Once question - once you removed the old switch, did you fashion some sort of stop for the brake lever?
Yes I did, and I even included it in the video! If you watch from the beginning of minute 8 of the video, I show the new “stop” I fashioned. Pretty simple, no fancy fabrication needed.
yeah not sure why I missed that - probably skipping around a bunch. Really great video. Thank you again!
was that footpeg loose like it was moving around a bit? if so, how did you tighten it?
Yes it was, but it was my own fault. There are two mounting bolts that hold it to the frame and I only put one of the bolts back when I installed the skid plate.
I found the 2nd bolt in my garage and was able to tighten it back in place. I have to remove the footpegs to get my Allen wrench into place for the 2nd bolt.
Why can I not find the right one so far ordered 2 new ones that didn't fit
I’m really sorry to hear the parts you ordered haven’t fit. What year is your bike?
I ended up using a KTM pressure switch. It was for all models.
