    i just got an 81' midnight maxim 650 and when i got it there were alot of issues with the lights, ive got all but two working now but i need help.
    first and most importantly my front brake doesnt turn on the brake light. where is that switch or how does that work so i can have an idea on how to fix it? secondly my neutral light doesnt work it doesnt really matter but its the only light on my bike that still doesnt work so any ideas for that?

    At the brake lever / perch you will see a pair of wires covered in black plastic, look underneath & you will see a tiny hole, push a small nail punch in there & at the same time gently pull out the switch.
