hi, anyone know the part no for the brembo front brake micro switch? Is the switch the same as fitted to late 1990's Ducati 900ss, monster etc?
My bike came back from service and front lever does not trigger stop light. Rear brake operates light ok. I suspect it is the micro switch which seems to click but no light. Any thoughts welcomed. Cheers Cooky.
 
Dont know the number but I bought one for my 1999 Monster quite easily from a Ducati dealer although  it did cost a ridiculous amount, ?30 quid? or is my memory going? Needed the pathetic item for my MOT though.
 
My 95 900ss had exactly the same problem. Fiddly little bolt on thing. I managed to soak/spray it with electrical contact cleaner which got it working again.

Scrumpy 
 
I needed one for an ex-Ducati MC I fitted to some bike or other.  Ducati dealer wanted $130 for it!!  Yep, one hundred and thirty friggin dollars. 
Turns out they are a dead standard industrial switch, I got one from an electronics supplier for a few dollars.  Can probably find out numbers if you like, I'm sure I bought more than one.

Oh, BTW there's a tiny little plastic puck that actuates the switch - goes in a hole in the MC or lever can't remember - make sure it hasn't somehow or other parted company, and when removing the switch take care not to lose it into that corner of the workshop floor that tiny items go to die.  But a vague memory tells me that with that puck missing the light is permanently on.

if it came back from the shop like that they have prob left a connector undone someplace - time to get your wiring diagram out and follow.

took a 1200 Bandit for its first service to the local Suki dealer, when I collected it they told me off for bringing it in with so little fuel, confused me but off  I went to the garage to fill up, guess what, it didn't move the fuel gauge, Grrrrrrr F*** idiots hadn't reconnected the gauge (jerk)

 
Mine is the bolted switch. Suspect it is stuffed as mechanic had fairing off to weld headlight bracket. Will try to see if connectors have come loose and a spot of WD40. Otherwise shell out more cash to Ducati dealer i suppose! Thanks for advice good people. Cooky

Check this out first, Cooky - ?2.49.  No personal experience, but should work, I'm told.

Micro switch fitted. Brake light now working at a cost of ?30 to a nice Ducati parts dealer. Hope this one lasts 12 years like the last one!
