It looks like I may need to replace my rear brake light switch. It screws into the master cylinder. Is it a pressure switch, and if so will I need to bleed the system after replacing it? In other words, will I let air into the master cylinder when I remove the switch? 2008 1125R (Message edited by dxg on March 29, 2021) | ||

Yes its a pressure switch, I would recommend the bleed | ||

Got it. Thank you. Follow-up question for anyone who has replaced the switch. Will fluid weep out when you remove the switch? Is it better to empty the reservoir/cylinder first? I hate to have brake fluid dripping everywhere. | ||

Yes it will pretty much pour out. I recommended draining it and having water ready to rinse off any brake fluid that spills on painted surfaces. And yes you’ll need to bleed it afterwards. Here is a link to the Buell repair manuals: https://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/artikelen.asp?cid=6 &aid=1228 | ||

Put a plastic bag between reservoir & cap . Will help a little |
