I finaly got to ride last Monday night, and after all the work I done to my sled, the only problem I had was that the brake light wasn't working.
I first thought is was a bulb, but quickly realised they are LED. (DUH!)
I traced the wiring, and then tried taking the switch off, starting the sled, and operating the switch. The brake light worked, but was very eratic. I took the switch apart to find it was somewhat corroded.... It really doesn't look like this switch was designed to keep much if any moisture out. I rubbed the contacts with an emery board and put it back together.
Has this happened to anyone else? I would have thought that a machine that is designed to operate in the environments that it does, would resist nusiance problems like this with only 550 miles!? Anybody?

Plymouth Motorsports ordered a switch for mine last week. It quit early last year with probably less miles than yours, unfortunately I forgot about it until last week. Here in Michigan we still do not have good enough conditions for me, so I guess it just doesn't matter !
