My "STOP" and "HANDBRAKE" light flashes on erratic movements?

Everytime i put my foot down too fast or brake heavy or turn a corner too fast the (above mentioned) lights flash very quickley on, then off.


Any ideas what this could bee? - My handbrake is definately off before anyone mentions that - haha

Have you checked the brake fluid level..?

Also, how warn are your brake pads.?

ah hah, no i havent but i will first thing in the morning!! - how would this have effect if you dont mind me asking?

There's a fluid level sensor in the lid of the reservoir. If this falls below minimum, the brake warning light will illuminate. As the pads wear, the pistons in the callipers will naturally take up 'the slack', and in turn more fluid will be held within the pipes, lowering the level shown in the resrvoir. Voila! low fluid level.. lol. Unless there's a leak ofcourse, which is possible, but un-likely.

i reckon it will be exactly what shaun said!! mine did the very same when my pads wore low. i replaced the pads and it stopped doing it.

Hey Duncan...! yeah, its happened to me with both the Vee and my 182. Hopefully this is the case here. Easy fix.... new pads! :wink:
