Unfortunately, I don't know how long it has been doing it. The guy I bought it from said "everything is running like a top!" Which is basically true, except for the brake light I noticed. He was unsure how long the brake light had been on, as he wasn't the daily driver. blah blah blah

Long story short. I have had it for a little over a week - the brake light has been on the entire time I have had it (driven lightly), except for a few moments this afternoon after I rebuilt the rear brakes and topped off the MC.

So - I will keep her off the road until I can pop that MC off and fix that little problem.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone.
