Starter Button 2000 curvy - SV650.org

fchat63 · 03-10-15, 08:40 PM

Well came out to go for a quick spin this afternoon, hit the starter button and nothing, no clicking or dimming of lights. Called the RAC who arrived and the rescue man went to work to find that the contacts in the starter button switch seemed to be dirty and worn down. He gave it a spray with contact cleaner as a temporary fix. So it's working but needs a decent push to start so I figure it's on the way out.
Question is can I repair it or has anyone out there got a second hand one I can buy, had a look on the great god fleabay and they seem to be between £15 and £20.
Bikes a year 2000 curvy.
Cheers for any help.

Buy a set of wire brushes and some contact cleaner
The switch gear is serviceable just takes a small amount of time

sent with all the fury of a clogged drain!!
