R3T Ignition switch


Thanks Goth, I saw the small hex looking ends that hold the switch in place. I have soldered it back together but the switch itself seems to be dodgy as when you wiggle the key it stops and starts. Bugger!

Figure I might be due a new switch as it's been soldered before by Northside down here in Sydney who did a ****e job for $450!! They reckoned it doesn't show up as a fault on the computer so had to search. I'd already told them that it was probably the switch. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

How many miles J? Curious as to whether the mileage has anything to do with it.
Im not positive but I dont think this suffers from the same problem as the S/C bikes do.
Could be dust or dirt causing excess heat in the switch.
Do you ride with the windsheild on or off?

Thanks for the update....I only have 6000 on mine so Im trying to anticipate issues.
I plan on and have been riding more this year....put 10K onthis year is a real possibility

It's the dual headlights on the other models that typically push the switch over the edge. But their weak solder points can certainly find other ways to fail other than just heat.
