jereme 85 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 My DCT NC 750 X was delivered yesterday. I didn't really want the dct model but it was the right price and so I thought i would give it a go. After a good long ride yesterday, wow ... I love the DCT!!! It really is incredible. The only problem I have discovered with the bike and I am waiting for the dealer to get back to me, is that the parking brake warning light on the dash display doesn't go out when the brake is disengaged. Anyone else experienced this before? 2 Link to post
poldark 1,512 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Mmmmm never had or heard of that problem, but first logical check is that the parking brake pads are fully releasing. If you have centre stand, or rear paddock stand, just check the rear wheel freely rotates. Otherwise I'd expect it's a sensor adjustment, much like the brake lights staying on even when lever released. 1 Link to post
dave 969 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Probably a micro switch problem on the lever, I use silicon grease spray on these switches, I've got 3 going again on the Silverwing that control the brake electrics, could also be as simple as a wire disconnected. The brake caliper is the same as a Silverwing one, adjustment is by the grub screw on the lever. Simple. You should never need new pads, they are very thin when new and last forever. 3 Link to post

If you lift the lever you should a 'click' after about 10deg of rotation. The switch should be 'normally-open' so there might be a short somewhere in the wiring. 1 Link to post

Turns out the parking brake lever was being slightly obstructed and while the brake was disengaging the lever wasn't 100% returning home. I have adjusted the housings position on the handlebars and now I can hear the microswitch activating and everything is working as it should. Thanks everyone for your assistance 7 Link to post
