[6pack] PDWA Switch

Bill,

The PDWA serves a couple of safety purposes that I would not bypass. If its the oring version it is real easy to rebuild by buying the 2 small o rings.  

If it is leaking then your 2 separate brake systems are in communication and a large fluid loss in either can result in no hydraulic brakes at all.  You can get the rebuild kit or simply buy the rings from McMaster-Carr or the local hardware store if they have the right materials.  See the buckeye triumph tech article on that.

Hi Again,
As I found out is common, my PDWA is leaking brake fluid (Silicone).  I
know the "O" rings are shot inside and should be rebuilt, but has anyone
just plugged the switch opening with a 3/8" bolt?  I know the warning
light won't work, but does that at least solve the problem temporarily?
Thanks,

Bill Couzelis
