BRAKE LIGHT ON WHILE RIDING

Re: BRAKE LIGHT ON WHILE RIDING
Most likely a switch. I would check the rear brake switch first. Check to see that the lever is coming all the way back up, allowing the switch to open. Pull up on the lever to make sure it is coming all the way up. If anyone has messed with the lever adjustment, that might need to be readjusted. The front brake has a switch as well, it is in the master cylinder/lever assembly.

When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

That front brake switch will stick if it gets dirty. All it needs is a little cleaning and some silicone lubricant sprayed in and around it. If everything is very quiet, you can listen for the little "click" as you engage and disenage the front brake lever. If you aren't hearing the "click", that's the problem.
Same thing happens to the rear brake switch, but its easier to get to and maintain/adjust.
