[QUOTE="airboss, post: 262937, member: 1401"] Mine just turned 24,000. I haven't any idea how the Yamaha ignition switch is put together, but mine acted in a way that reminded me of a problem we had with our International trucks a few years ago. The contacts on the back of the ingition switches would get loose and start arching until the contact or the post on the back of the switch burned off. I'll put forward the theory, that even if you don't have a catastrophic failure like the wires actually breaking off, that having the wires bundled to tight will pull on the internal contacts, causing them to loosen on the post and start arching.
