Starter Button Knackered
Randomly, seems that over night my starter button has given up and after trying to bump start, trawling threads/posts on here it seems its the start button that's playing up.
Button only fires the bike into life if I push it down hard pushing to the left so I'm guessing the contacts are dirty/knackered - is it easy to replace this switch gear? |

Re: Starter Button Knackered
It's easy to strip and clean them.
You need basic hand tools, small soft wire brush (brass), contact cleaner and a dab of rubber grease. Job takes about an hour to do the entire switchgear. Is it a curvy or pointy? written with a biro
