| Description of the problem | Upon getting ready to ride bike at night, pulled back on hand brake lever and noticed no brake light reflection on ground. Therefore did an inspection and noticed that when pressing down on foot brake pedal brake light would come on and then when pulling back on hand brake lever, light would not come on. Called dealer and was told it be a week before they could look at it. . I only wonder since how long has this light not been working when coming to a complete stop and therefore not pressing the foot pedal only to give the car behind me the false sense i have stopped braking. Could have been in a serious accident being hit from behind . |
