Brake switch adjustment ?
 
My brake lights do not seem to come on when I first push the brake pedal.
Any one know how to adjust the brake switch? There is no nut , just plastic
connectors :iono:

Also having the same problem, the first few centimeters of brake movement do absolutely nothing...

No brake
 
Could glue something to the brake pedal arm ...?

I've noticed it Ali but haven't looked to see if there's an adjustment yet.

It exists!

As far as adjusting it, the manual just says "Adjust the Switch - Stop Light". It appears to have a nut welded into the L-shaped arm to its left.

You'll either screw in/out the whole assembly or pivot the arm using the nut above.

I like 5-10 mm of travel before the switch turns on... which is usually means that the switch is already contacting the plate, when you adjust it. There's a deadzone built into most switches.

Thanks for the info Shankenstein!
