rapier brake light on dashboard

Post by andrew1608 »

today the orange light on my dashboard started to flash, the warning light is just below the rev counter, i have recently changed the front disc's & pads i have checked the sensors and the brake fluid both are fine, can anyone advise me further on this. The light comes on just when i brake, it does not stay continuously it just flashes whilst i apply the brakes, and today is the first time it has done it.

Sounds like the brake pad wear indicator is 'grounding' somewhere and bringing the light on.

I had the sensor wire rubbing on the crank pulley once and bringing the light on. I would check you haven't dislodged the wire etc.
