Hi all, I have been through the search engine but haven't really found anything to help me.
I got the bike back after 1 month in an outside garage and it started fine. Now I get nothing from the ignition switch (no noises) and the on the 20th attempt it starts. I checked the spade connectors on the clutch and cleaned them but this had no effect. I suspect a corroded switch or bad connection but want to know if it is easy to take apart the switch housing and clean all the contacts or are most of the switches sealed units???
Many thanks and merry Christmas!
