OK, the brake light issue turns out to be nothing but a wonky light switch. Have to order one this week but the bike is ridable.

Easy enough. So until the new switch arrives, just be in the habit of lightly applying the rear brake anytime you're using the front.
BTW, I had a taste of the ABS front brake system on my Tiger 800 today, and I'm really glad it was there! It saved my hide.
I was following a line of 3 vehicles and as I was moving along I noticed the back cover on the headlight housings seemed to be out of place. As I reached down to make sure the left one was secure, all the cars in front of me slammed on their brakes. I instinctively clamped on the front binder hard, and felt the ABS going to work. And it worked perfectly! (Thank God...or whoever.)
