Thanks! No tools necessary on my 2023 Grom SP. Just a few quick turns and it's working great! Just a note: The rear brake light sensitivity has been messed up ever since the bike dropped down hard on the lever while loading. My shop said it was no big deal and I typically trust them. But when I have to STAND on that lever to get the tailight to light, that's MY safety and MY life at risk. The car behind me cannot be expected to slow or stop in time to not hit me if they aren't receiving warning that I am slowing until I am on my front brake. I am typically pretty evenly on both, and too... yeah, no. Finding out this was such an easy fix leaves me feeling disappointed in the guys I entrust with mine and my bike's safety. I'm glad to have learned this, and too, I won't allow my shop to dismiss my concerns about something like this again.
Nice informational video. After making the proper adjustment on the spring tension, and with my motorcycle up on my lift, on the center stand, I like to turn on the motor and put it in 1st gear. Now with the tire spinning slowly I push down on the brake pedal to see if the rear light comes on when it should. I do this because I am trying to double check my work to see if the brake light comes on with the correct foot pressure.
Thanks! My rear brake would only engage the light when i only put all my force on the pedal. Now i have adjusted it that when i press a millimeter on my rear brake, the light pops on. Thanks to this vid. Thnx
lol cuz im explaining it, but for more shorter videos check out my Super shorts, where i explain complex installs in under 5seconds. www.youtube.com/@ACProductions77/shorts
you may want to check the brake light switch assembly could be that the internal switch is broken, in that case you will need a replacement. other then that it could be a wiring issue maybe a bad ground, or crossed cables.
i lightly oil that shiny rod which the spring pull .. ☺ please do a pod filter on youre r3 .. those are so in right here on my country .. and putting turbo filter thingy on the engine breathers on our r3 we got 3 of those small rubber tubes ..
@@ACProductions77 i think their called pod filters or mushroom filter .. here in the Philippines its starting to get stricter in loud pipes so by changing to pod filter youll get some rumbles out of that pod filters ..
@@baecchi4153 ok after doing some research of this filter i see the style you are talking about yes we have those style air filters here in the U.S. but mainly are used for cars but because the way the airbox is made for the R3 a "pod" filter will not fit inside the box, I will see how to modified the air intake to accept this pod filter if its even possible and if i find a way I will make a video about it and post your comment with video. =)
@@ACProductions77 will be staying tune to youre channel .. actually the stock airbox will be removed and 2 pod filters and 3 smaller filters for the breathers will be added .. th-cam.com/video/59QM5HIp4X0/w-d-xo.html
my videos are tutorials so im explaining what im doing, that's why they are somewhat long. this task in the video after watching this should only take you a few mins to do maybe even 30 seconds
@@ACProductions77 thank you for the detailed tutorial. You took time to explain every step, and I got my brake light switched fixed! You did an excellent job explaining everything. Don't listen to this fool. Shane sounds like an idiot, and he should probably take his bike to the dealer!

I have this problem.....I also have a banjo pressure switch. New switch I guess.
Wait a minute, this isn't a car! Thanks anyway haha.
lol my channel is all about motorcycles
What if they stay on but when you break they dont dim? I did have the rear brake assy switch loose like yours.... any tips

That’s correct. Got the same problem with a 2011 Heritage. Rear switch.

ba ecchi I’m not quite understanding your question the filter I have in my R3 is a race filter.

Is the one in the link really a universal one? Would it be good for a 2007 Honda Rebel CMX250 C?
im not 100% if it will work with that model bike you will just have to order it and see if its possible
Nice 😍
Does this work for Honda Shadow?
you will have to see if you have this same style on your bike if yes then this method will work as well on it
What taillight are you running?

Why does your break light strobe?
I want to know as well why was the light blinking ?
to get the attention of the drivers behind me to let them know that im slowing down, i have it setup that way for safety.

How Back light brakes stlll not working
check fuse
Mine won’t turn off
it could be that yours is stuck open, you may want to remove it completely and see if it has some broken parts or just replace it all together.
What’s your cash app you deserve $15
was thinking to do a paid subscription page just havent gotten around to it , for those that want to help support my ch.
your spring is junk where it attaches to the pedal
thats how it came stock from the factory.
