The switch isn't adjustable, but you can change the mounting enough to make the switch work by removing part of the plastic boss that fits into the holes where the switch mounts, thereby allowing the switch to work.That's the first thing I did when I got my 2013 home, July 2013. I checked the bike over very carefully and saw the front brake was not actuating the brake light until well into the application of the brakes. Not good. I want that brake light to come on before the brakes actuate to alert following traffic as to what I'm up to. I also adjusted the rear brake light to come on early, in the first 1/4" of movement.
It's the way the bike was designed, you'll have to look carefully at it to get an understanding of how it works. Just please make sure you know what you're about before fooling with it, you don't want to mess it up.
Also, beware of certain low quality aftermarket levers which will keep the brake on slightly and cause the fluid to boil and lock your front brakes.
