Hello, I've been lurking for months and ride a converted '06 WR450F that I got back in mid-October. The homemade lighting harness shorted and burned out in November, and I replaced it with the DRC harness kit (with a few modifications to suit my needs). My lights all worked, but the original hydraulic switch on the rear master cylinder would only light in a specific, slim range; if I didn't press the pedal far enough or pressed it too far, it wouldn't light up.
So, I ended up using BOTH DRC switches that came with the kit this weekend, and they both failed after leaving the pedal pressed all night to bleed the brake line. My rear brake feels just as it did before, so there doesn't seem to be air in the line, but the switches won't light up under any amount of pressure on the pedal.
Are there any quality hydraulic switches out there? It's really irritating to put two brand new switches in and have them both fail before I even get to ride the bike. Cheap Chinese shit...
Thanks!
