The BMW F650 guys are always keen on saying the same thing but what they fail to mention is there bikes are built alongside the Pegaso in the same Aprilia factory.
The Peg is 20 years old now so the Honda one only lasted twice as long.  :P

Got and fitted new switch. Working perfect now with just a little bit of pressure @ lever. :) :)
Thanks all.
Kenny.

My bike has had only front brake switch for the last 22 years and has passed MOT each year.  I didn't have a rear switch when I assembled the bike and ever since I've been meaning to get one but never get round to it.

I believe if a switch is on both and visible they both have to work, if no switch it is fine.

There is no mention of switches in the MOT testers handbook, only that pre Apr '86 bikes have to have "at least" one brake working the stop lamp.

Like Florence, some of my bikes have both switches but some don't work and never fail MOT's with one working.

Here again is the MOT Testers Handbook from the GOV.UK website
