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.
 
Don't spray wd 40 in it, whatever you do, it's not for that

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 Would work for awhile after cleaning but would not last. No issues with starting the bike since replacing.
