Terry, I have the M/C with twin reservoirs. Later model Stanzas had the PBR single reservoir. My M/C uses fluid level sensors. The brake light came on just before my alternator said 'smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast'. I need the warning light to work as I have just changed to rear discs and don't want any nasty surprises. Unless of course it is working and trying to tell me something???!!!??? Brakes pull up well, there is some inconsistencies in pedal travel and feel - there might still be air in there. No leaks and good proportioning though Nick ============================================================ From: "Terry Rudd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 8 Apr 2001 20:52:47 +1000 To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: brake warning light Nick, Doesn't the brake warning light come on only in the start position, most cars without puters did it that way. The Stanza brake warning light from memory isn't actually a low fluid level but a warning that you have a pressure difference between the front and rear circuits in the cylinder. Have a look and see if yours has a switch half way along the cylinder. If it is this type they used to jam if you have a dirty cylinder (inside) and can also jam if you only bleed one circuit and not the other. regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ken Abraham Sent: Sunday, 8 April 2001 8:22 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: brake warning light List, How does the brake warning light work? There is a plunger sensor in the fluid reservoir, but how does the light come on when the ignition is switched on but the motor is not running? (I don't have a wiring diagram) My warning light is on during normal driving, I don't know why though?

Nick,
Doesn't the brake warning light come on only in the start =
position, most=20
cars without puters did it that way. The Stanza brake warning light from =
memory=20
isn't actually a low fluid level but a warning that you have a pressure=20
difference between the front and rear circuits in the cylinder. Have a =
look and=20
see if yours has a switch half way along the cylinder. If it is this =
type they=20
used to jam if you have a dirty cylinder (inside) and can also jam if =
you only=20
bleed one circuit and not the other.
