Stelvio Front Brake Light Switch Adjust

I discovered this weekend that my front brake light switch was set-up to be too sensitive.

From years of curvy road riding, I habitually ride with one or two fingers covering my brake lever so as to have quicker response when I need to scrub-off some speed. A chap behind me during a ride on Saturday commented that sometimes he could see my brake light just barely come on and flicker. Close inspection revealed that any finger contact with the brake lever would click the microswitch and turn-on the brake light way before the master cylinder was engaged.

I discovered that virtually no adjustment of the switch can be made by loosening the screw that holds it and repositioning. I ended up cutting a very small piece of .020 brass shim stock and attaching it to the contact point on the lever with some silicone RTV to create even more contact with the switch button.

My problem is fixed and now the light comes on only when the lever is pulled back beyond the slack.
 
I found the same, ended up drilling the little tab that operates the switch plunger and fitting a small bolt and nut, something like an M2 thread. Its nice an positive now.
 
Had the same issue exactly. Took a piece of heat shrink tubing around the actuator and shrunk it on there.
