    Front Brake micro switch ?

    I was on an assessment on my F850GS 2020 and my assessor kept telling me to use my front brake in certain situations.
    I was applying my front brake gently to slow down gently.
    When we stopped it appeared that my brake light came on fine if i applied my brake fully with the front lever but when feathering it never came on.
    I only have to breath on my rear peddle and the light comes on fine.

    Is there an adjustment that can be made to the microswitch ? Does anyone have an exploded view diagram of the front brake lever area ?
    It would be easier for me to take a look rather than take it back to the main dealers.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks

    Hi, I'm sorry I might not be able to help with your problem. I was wondering if you know where this microswitch of the front lever is.
    Have a good day

    It is probably a pressure switch on the ABS pump.
