Removal
4 Disconnect the battery negative (-ve) lead
and the switch wiring connector (see Step 1).
Unclip the immobiliser transponder aerial
(where fitted) from the front of the switch (see
illustration).
5 The switch is secured to the frame by a
shear bolt (see illustration). To remove the
bolt, drill off the bolt head, then remove the
switch. The threaded section of the bolt can
then be unscrewed with pliers.

1 Generally speaking, the switches are
reliable and trouble-free. Most problems,
when they do occur, are caused by dirty or
corroded contacts, but wear and breakage of
internal parts is a possibility that should not
be overlooked when tracing a fault. If
breakage does occur, the entire switch and
related wiring harness will have to be renewed
as individual parts are not available.
2 The switches can be checked for continuity
using a multimeter or test light and battery.
Always disconnect the battery negative (-ve)
lead, which will prevent the possibility of a
short circuit, before making the checks.
3 Remove the handlebar covers and front or
headlight panel as necessary to trace the
wiring from the switch in question back to its
connector (see Chapter 7). Disconnect the
relevant wiring connector (see illustrations).
4 Check for continuity between the terminals
of the switch wiring with the switch in the
various positions (e.g. switch off
-
no
continuity, switch on
-
continuity) referring to
the Wiring Diagrams at the end of this Chapter.
5 If the checks indicate a problem exists, refer
to Section 23, separate the switch housing and
spray the switch contacts with electrical
contact cleaner. If they are accessible, the
contacts can be scraped clean carefully with a
knife or polished with crocus cloth. If switch
components are damaged or broken,
it
will be
obvious when the switch is disassembled.
6 Clean the inside of the switch body
thoroughly and smear the contacts with
silicon grease before reassembly

Removal
1 Remove the handlebar covers and front or
headlight panel as necessary to
trace
the wiring
from the switch in question back to its connector
(see Chapter 7). Disconnect the relevant wiring
connector (see illustration 223b).
2 The right-hand switch housing is integral
with the throttle twistgrip housing (see
illustration). Undo the two screws securing
the two halves of the housing together, then
remove the screws and lift the switch housing
off the handlebar
(see
illustration). Note: I t is
not necessary to displace the throttle twistgrip.
3 On machines fitted with a rear disc brake,
undo the two screws securing the two halves
of the left-hand housing together, then
remove the screws and lift the switch housing
off the handlebar (see illustration 23.2~).
4 On machines fitted with a rear drum brake,
the left-hand switch housing incorporates the
brake lever. Undo the two screws securing the
