[QUOTE="Bulldog9, post: 521731, member: 17133"] So what is the deal with the failures? I read about dirty switches or failures, but what is the deal? Do the contacts burn out? or is it a mechanical failure of a spring, tumbler, etc? If it is a switch overload, then a good 50-60 amp Relay will cure the problem permanently. It would stand to reason though that the switch ALREADY activates relays for fuel system, lights, ignition, etc. Every other bike I have owned does this, and the igniton switch usually just activates the relays on the main bus? Guess I need to look at the wiring diagram. If it is dirty contacts, or corrosion from rain, elements, and you can dissasemble the switch, I would clean and fill it with dielectric grease every couple years. May be good preventative maintenance? [/QUOTE]
