I have Lightech rearsets that utilize the OEM rear brake light switch. CC works fine. I bought and installed the lighTech rear sets and they remove all the springs. Do u have a 2018 MT10 with cruise control? Does your set use the springs so u could use the original brake light switch? Thanks Here’s a pic of the brake side of my rearsets. The original switch is in use. It’s been too long since the installation to remember which springs were used. Between Lightech and the OEM parts, I had everything I needed.

They’re different and probably much better, because they were plug and play. Here’s mine without the brake switch connected. Thanks for the pic

Finally got around to finishing. Success! Brembo RCS19 installed and cruise control still functions!
Thanks for everyone who helped in this thread.

- Step 1: Purchase all parts
a. Brembo RCS19 – Be cognizant of fakes on the market. Every Brembo product comes with a scratch card that contains a code to reference on Brembo’s website to ensure authenticity. b. Brake fluid reservoir – I went with Brembo part# 110A26385. It’s not perfect and required minor “surgery” to the rubber gasket to get a 100% seal, but it’s working fine now. c. Marquardt Switch part# 1022.2201 – This plugs right into the RCS19. Some have cut the metal tab off. I just bent mine and left it connected. d. Brake lines – I’m not 100% certain this is required, as I didn’t try to make the stock lines fit. I went with Fren Tubo with a 10mm longer than stock line and 45 degree mc banjo angle. These lines retained the stock hardlines as well. Of note, the brake lines were the only difficult, time consuming part of this install. Everything else was VERY easy.
- Step 2: Remove stock master cylinder from bike
a. The stock brake switch has 4 wires connected, 2 red and 2 black. If you pull back the rubber wire loom, you’ll see that these are connected to 2 green and 2 yellow wires.
- Step 3: Install Marquardt switch to Brembo RCS19, then install the new mc to handlebar
- Step 4: Wire Marquardt switch to stock wiring
a. Gray wire from Marquardt switch will not be used b. Create 2 pairs of wires from the stock wires mentioned in step 2. Each pair will have 1 yellow wire and 1 green wire. I don’t remember exactly which green and yellow go together, but it will only take a couple trial-and-error tests to figure this out. c. 1 pair of stock yellow-green wires to the blue Marquardt wire d. 1 pair of stock yellow-green wires to the brown Marquardt wire e. If pulling the brake lever doesn’t trigger the brake light or if pulling the clutch lever does trigger the brake light, then it’s not correctly wired. f. I first tested with alligator clips to ensure everything correctly functioned. Including a test ride over 35mph in 4th gear to ensure cruise control was working
- Step 5: Install brake lines and reservoir, bleed your brakes, and enjoy!
I haven’t done any extensive riding yet, as I’m still installing some other parts on my bike. Some quick bursts near home proved awesome modulation and power. I installed Vesrah RJL pads front and rear as well. I didn't test out each brake upgrade by itself. So, I can't really comment on which upgrade gave the biggest improvement from the stock brake package.

Awesome, thanks for putting that all together....

You have 2 red and 2 black cables if you cut them quite at the end of the wiring (end in direction of the switch), otherwise you will have other colors . from 2,5 mm cable pass to 2 mm cable and the colors changes .

I've made up a plug and play unit for our bikes. Straight swap using nothing new or exciting other than a dual relay. It retains all the OEM functionality and also means you don't need to cut into your own wiring and can easily remove it if ever needed.

Do you have a diagram and details of the relay and plugs used and how it was wired?

Hi mrcdhardwood, First of all, thanks for your effort in this mod! I am considering swapping my MC to a Brembo RCS19. Sadly, the ebay link you posted leads to nowhere... Could you provide us with a new link to the applicable diagrams? Thank you!

Further up the post are the links to wiring diagrams and the relays you can use. With my version I've replaced the two automotive relays with a single PCB relay and made it plug and play. I'm out of parts at the moment after a mad week of orders so removed the listing until I can make more stock. This also works with a brake pressure banjo switch for Hel and Accossato.

Thanks for the tip! I just ordered all of the parts to make the same plug and play type "box".
However, there is one more issue that worries me, how do the original brake lines connect to the 19 RCS master cylinder? I guess the fitment is different. I've looked at all of the pictures in this thread, but there is no clear answer.
