Where's the psring for the rear brake?

ninjaDUDE24 · 10-13-2008

Ok so last night we installed the rear brake pedal and then I went for a test drive. Well, the brake light was constantly on so I un-attached the long skinny spring and now I have rear brake but no brake light for that brake pedal. I have a short spring that I have NO CLUE where it goes. Anyone have a manuel of that portion of the bike that they can show, or take a pictures of there bike for me

I know this sounds confusing but I am confused as well, so...

It might help to post yr/model of the bike since they aren't all set up the same.

So how is the brake light activated on that bike, sorry I do not ride one.
Many bikes use one spring to pull the brake pedal up as you ride, and another attached to the switch, so when you push down on the pedl it pulls the switch on, activating the light.

Take a pic and post it, they are a simple design, it cannot be hard to fix.

I realize this is a totally different model of bike, but could it be anything even vaguely resembling this?

the spring I was talking about is the big one in this picture. I just need to find it in relation to my ninja 250 and wall la...I THINK

try looking at a ninja 250 website, or google search photos.

Once you see a photo showing the springs locations, you should be able to figure out how they came off.

Sorry i have no ninja 250 or i would take a pic and post it for you.

Well I am pretty sure I know where the spring goes now after posting that picture I belive the assembly they show is shown upside down. So if I reverse it I should be able to find everything. Well, LATER
