Brake Light is constantly on.

Hi.

 

My tail light is constantly on. The red light did not intensify when I tap on either of the brakes. Once I turn the key to ON, the tail light lits brightly.

 

Its dangerous because vehicles behind me won't know that i applied brakes. The lights are no different, regardless brakes a not.

 

I only discovered the problem today. Riding daelim roadwin X5. Anyone can kindly advise? Is it a must to go back cka? Any workshop to recommend? Or any workshop opens on sunday?

 

Thanks.

I remember cka workshops are not open on sundays. I need to get it fixed asap. Cant afford to take time off.

the fault lies wif rear brake. as tis is 2nd hand bike, there r oily deposits in the spring mechanism which prevents springing of the brake level to its perfect oringinal position thus triggers the brake light.

 

i removed the oily deposits surrouding that spring on rear brake level, and the prblem seems okay now.

 

im not comfortable though will bring down to cka someday sooon.

 

regretted that i have gottn a 2nd hand bike. but it doesnt make sense to get a new 2b bike i feel.

These are small problems due to poor maintainence, after you sort these minor issues out, you will see how worth while it is to buy a 2nd hand 2B bike instead of getting a brand new one.
