Re: Brake Switch on Yamaha G8
Welcome Bud! I know of 2 way's, a simple push button switch mounted into the brake pedal (like some early Ezgo guy's did) so you just push the button as your aplying the brake. The second is a spring actuated switch, but you will need some kind of "delay/relay timer " to turn the brake lites off after you have locked the parking brake, they useually turn off after 15 or so seconds.

Re: Brake Switch on Yamaha G8
Bud, heres what I did on my G8. I wired it so there is no current to the switch with the key off. This way if you use the parking brake, the brake lights are off. Its a 1950 chevy pick-up switch.

Re: Brake Switch on Yamaha G8
The bracket that it is bolted to, is slotted, about a 1/4" so the switch can be adjusted forward and backward. I did this so when I put new brake shoes on, I think, it may have to be readjusted. Found another picture.
I shortened the length of the lever a bit as well. |
