I always do a visual before tossing me leg over the bikes. Brakes, Blinkers, chain, tire etc etc. On inspecting the brake lights front is fine on off rear is driving me crazy and it is not sticking (Just getting that out there)
What happens, hit the rear brake LED on, then stays on. I have to adjust the switch bu unscrewing it then it goes out and works. Brake on brake off all ok, 8 hours later or so check again, brake on, wont go off, again I have to adjust the position n the switch to get the brake off.
My thought it the switch is not defective but the plastic threads/nut that is the adjuster is actually not holding the adjustment and turning do to vibration. I cannot prove this, but that is my theory. I will to test that remove the unit, add some teflon tape to the threads as this may tighten the grip of the plastic nut. One may argue defective, but I am hard pressed to believe that. the bike is brand new less than 2500 miles.
