I'm starting to have issues with the clutch switch. Is there an established cleaning procedure to perform?

If I replace it, since it's a $106 part (you could replace just the $6 switch component itself on my Suzuki </gripe>), is the switch portion of it compatible with any of the later models with the flash to pass switch? or would I need to replace the whole **** assembly?

I'm hoping a good cleaning will sort it out.
 
I had a problem with my clutch switch, I remove it from the perch, pulled the rubber cover back as far as I could, washed the switch in a mixture of vinegar & salt to remove all corrosion then washed the switch in bicarbonate of soda, gave it a good blow out with the air hose, the switch work great, then pushed in as much electrical grease as I could into the switch and refitted. No more problems.

Jellen, how did you get after spraying the switch with contact cleaner.

Well, ummm... see, the thing is... it's only been a little over a month - barely seven weeks since that post and I've yet to crack it open. Every time I go out to the garage, the road beckons and I keep wiggling the lever to start.

Soon. I'll get on it soon.

Hopefully before it breaks completely...
 
Replaced mine during last upgrade IMG_0724.JPG Would work for awhile after cleaning but would not last. No issues with starting the bike since replacing.
