Owner report 10744583 · 2015-07-29 (July 29, 2015)
I NOTICED AT NIGHT WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION, WHILE HOLDING THE FRONT BRAKE LEVER, BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT ACTUATED. BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON IF I SQUEEZED THE BRAKES HARDER, BUT THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE REQUIRED TO HOLD BIKE STILL WHILE STOPPED ON BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES WOULD NOT ACTUATE BRAKE LIGHTS. THIS POSES A SAFETY HAZARD PARTICULARLY AT NIGHT WHEN I AM STOPPED AND OTHER DRIVERS HAVE NO INDICATION OF ME BEING STOPPED.
