Getting the Wheeling Fever
Yeah, just poke it with your finger after removing the cap. Then go inside and wash the brake fluid off your finger. If I wasn't so dumb I could have used a screwdriver or something! Bergie.

Roll Me Over

Did that work?

I had the same problem on my GenII. It turned out is was the diaphragm on the underside of the reservoir cap was being sucked down, pushing on the float and switching on the light. I figured the brake fluid must be expanding and contracting a lot and therefore contaminated. I changed the brake fluid, pushed the diaphragm back in place and the light has been off ever since (over a year).

That may help.
