Anyone have experience with Pit bikes? Brake lever question

OTO335i · 06-25-2019, 07:55 AM

Hello everyone,

I have acquired a 50cc Baja pit bike (Basically a Yamaha PW80) that needed some attention. I have swapped the motor out for a 125cc and slowly getting all parts in order to ride it soon.

I'm looking at ordering the front brake lever but the one that comes up has some wiring coming out of it. I assume this is for a brake light? Wouldn't the brake light be activated by pressing on the rear brake or is the system connected to the two? I wouldn't be wiring lights or anything so it's not needed but I was curious.

Thanks

The brake light should come on for both front and rear engagement, I would think.

Yes the wires would be for the brake light.
