It's likely that your foot brake is not returning fully to the disengaged position, mine does it too. I haven't fixed it yet, dunno if it needs a fresh little bend or a different spring or what.

For some reason my brake light stays on and will not go off. If anybody has any ideas it would be great.

Yeah, I had the same problem. It is the return spring they put on the foot brake. It is not strong enough to pull the pedal/lever back up to the brake light switch. I went to an auto parts store and bought a dual spring carburetor return spring. It is a spring with in another spring. It has good pull. I took the cotter pin out of the pin that attaches the brake actuator to the connecting rod of the brake pedal. I then put the one spring end through the hole and the other spring end around the connecting rod. I then drilled a small hole on the bracket that is welded to the frame that supports the running board/foot peg.
After I did this mod it has since not happened again.
