Have a 2007 650 Dakar. Problem is that the brake light is on regardless of if I have the brakes applied or not. I assume that the front or rear brake switch is stuck in the brake position. I checked the rotation of the wheels and both turn easily so the brakes are not on. Any help here on how to fix?

Brake light stays on

I think your bike is a single? I can move your question to the “Thumper” section later 
Anyway, the switches could be sticking as I would guess they are getting a bit long in the tooth as well. I would try WD-40 spray into the switches while working the pedal/lever while watching the light. I would do one at a time to help isolate the culprit. WD-40 is usually a help but not a long time cure.
Good luck.

Sorry, I put this in the wrong forum. It of course is a single cylinder. I have tried a very thin military gun oil, but probably need something with a little solvency. Will give it a shot.
