Side Stand switch

[minime]

Got the pipes back on the 4LO so I thought I would just fire it up before calling it a day

Key in, turn, nothing no idiot lights

check battery, its low so onto the tender it goes, still nothing
Fuses good

Then think to myself, side stand switch maybe it has been in the down position for a while

Pull it off, squash the pin in and I get the lights but they slowly fade out

So now is the switch buggered, can I jump it or do I need a new one?

Going to hit it with brake cleaner right now to see if that helps

As above just do the wires bloody things are allways gowing wrong .

Hit it with some brake cleaner and it is working right now

Think I will jump it out, was just worried that it has something to do with the earth, I know some of my old Kawasaki's were that way

Couldn't agree more ;D - bad design

Will jump it out this weekend, got a box of connectors and intend to go through the electrics and eliminate all those insulation taped connections this thing has
