Is there a brake light on a Kawasaki?
If that doesn’t work, find a motorcycle junkyard and grab a used one. Most every Kawasaki (and a few Suzukis) since the early 80’s has used the same switch. If all you want to do is test if it’s the switch or not, short the two wires going to the switch and the brake light should illuminate.
What to do if your front brake light does not work?
If that doesn’t fix it, take the switch off the lever and you can pry open the front of the switch with a knife. Spray some WD-40 in there and then cycle the clicker switch a couple hundred times or so. Doing that got mine working again. The inside of the switch becomes pretty corroded over time, especially if the bike is outside a lot.
How does the front brake light work on a bike?
It is activated when you press down on the brake lever, a spring will pull down on a switch which activates the light. I bought my bike new and the dealer just didn’t hook up the front brake light. I saw a loose wire under the seat plugged it in and the brake light started working.
