Same here. If you remove the boot over the hb lever it sits on the right of the lever. I did check mine and it seems fine. Stil on in the mornings tho.

So I inspected the switch, cleaned it but still same problem in the morning.
So Im gonna try flushing the brake fluid out and check again.

Thicker sole shoes the deeper the paddle goes the quicker you stop.
