    I recently picked up a '12 TE310 and got it plated. Went riding over the weekend and everything was working. Friend loaded bike in his truck and let it tip over. Broke the throttle side brush guard so I looked at it when I got home and saw a wire dangling below the front brake master cylinder with what appears to be a microswitch attached. Started the bike and checked the brake lights expecting that the rear brakes would work and if I clicked the front brake microswitch it to would work as
    I can hear the switch click when I push it in. Found that there were no bright brake lights (front or rear switches depressed) though the parking light mode of the taillight is functional. Where should I start looking? Also how is the front brake microswitch fastened to the master cylinder? Is it glued on? Any help is appreciated!

    Update, found a loose connector and now the brake lights are working correctly. Still unsure how to refasten the microswitch to the front master cylinder.

    If it's the same as the 2013, it's just pushed in to the brake lever.

    Note that if the switch is not pushed in to the lever, the brake light will (should) be on all the time.

    Thanks Mike! I guess what I'm not clear on is how the switch is attached or held in place. Does it attach to the master cylinder/reservoir or the lever. The manual or exploded parts diagram doesn't show it in any detail. I haven't been able to find a picture.

    Finally figured out previous owner broke off studs on microswitch and epoxied it in place...ordered new from Halls, good to go!
