Yesterday I did an Advanced Rider Coarse with Team Moto at  Mt Cotton ( it was fantastic by the way). In the arvo they put us on the track , I had  the only big twin( '08 softail standard done 20,000 k) , an instructor had the XR1200 . As you could imagine there was a lot of back brake work and it all held together well, But on the way home a few roundabouts from my place I lost back brake preasure . When I got home brake fluid was pissing out where thebrake light switch joins the system.

         Before I pull it apart  I would like to know if the switch is the seal or is there one before the switch and has anyone heard of this happening before. I could have been very dangerous I was just lucky this time.

Giday,

           I've had a look in the bright of day and it's the resin seal around the plug terminals that has failed . Shit house I'd say.

Yeh! get a copper washers.

It was at the front of the switch where the plug fits, not the threaded sect, nothing machanical would seal it

Thanks Beeza I've replaced it $28.00 .
