Default I feel like I am becoming Mr. HelpMe....

Okeydokey well this is what is happening now......
I have been riding the bike for a week now and just noticed something that is troubling. it seems that the Handlebar break lever is keeping the break lite constantly lit.... When i push on the break lever the light goes out. I am glad i saw this before someone decided to run up my ****....... What should i do. Now before u guys thrash me it is dark outside and i have not gotten a change to c if i can adjust the break lever to remove the false tension or to back it off so that it is not tapping the break switch int eh handlebar. i will do that in the morning. i guess i am saying that i will keep you posted......

Make sure that the span adjuster is actually on a notch & not sitting in between a setting.
If not, then I reckon you may just need to get some lube on the pivot bolt to free up the movement of the lever, (undo the bolt, pull it out & apply some lube). Have you done anything that may have damaged the switch itself?

Try a few bike wreckers as well. Its not just the F3's that use that part.

Ebay is your friend. You should be able to find the master cylinder for the front brakes easily. The brake lever is not that expensive, even brand new from Honda. Each of these is an easy fix. Could have been much worse, you could have found that 80 miles from home.

Yeah, man... glad you got hooked up.
As much as I complain about ebay sometimes, you really can't beat it.
