I'm having a problem when I squeeze the front brake lever my brake light doesn't light up. It lights up fine when I hit the rear brake pedel. Anyhelp would be appreciated.

06 Firebolt XB9R

I had the exact same problem. There is a little switch that is attached by two screws underneath the lever. You can order it on American Sportbike or your dealer. They are like $10.00. Good luck.

Probably a bad microswitch. Follow your brake lever, from the underside, and you'll see a microswitch towards the end of it close to the master cylinder. That microswitch makes direct contact with your lever and turns the tail lamp on as you pull it in.

Edit: Me & Oxygen posted at same time. And my '06 S just uses one screw.
