Posted July 7, 201014 yr hi all i need a bit of help i got a '75 rs125 torque induction the other day and have just realised the front brake doesnt activate the brake light and on further inspection there is no switch on the brake lever to activate the light and there is not even a place for the switch, the rear brake does activate the light as it should, any help would be welcome, Thanks Chris

July 12, 201014 yr It might not need a front brake light switch but my '72 AS3 and '73 RD125 (torque induction) models both have them. There is a little plastic switch that lives under the alloy brakelever perch and is wired into the loom (in the headlamp bowl). The RS125 perhaps didn't have this as it was a single cylinder (budget?) model but the RD125 twin models definitely had a front brake stop switch as well as a rear.
July 12, 201014 yr Author I checked underneath the brake lever and there is no space for switchgear so I am assuming that it's not fitted as standard Thanks Chris
