Help! Dead bike.

There's no relay with the brake lamp. Have a look at the circuit diagram.
Every millisecond counts when it comes to braking. With some drivers, thinking distance is way too long and they need as much notice of braking as possible.

Thanks Mike, but I realise that, that's why I referred to the 'simple switch arrangement of the brake light'.
When I talked of a relay I was referring to Steve's previous post about the indicator, although reading again maybe his use of the words 'indicator bulb' confused things slightly.
I read it as referring to direction indicators where there most definitely is a relay and things won't happen instantly, but a delay before things happen isn't so critical.
Apologies I if have confused the issue.
mike the bike:
No worries, I haven't had enough coffees either.
hairygit:
I don't think the delay matters either way, most of the time dickhead car drivers don't even see or notice there is a bike there, so you've no hope of them taking notice of lights on one! :o
mike the bike:
BMW drivers don't notice Transits either
Yes, that was me that got clobbered. Totally not my fault.
