Lubricating switches...
#7
with regard to the red engine stop switch i would attempt to clean in between the contacts, have a careful look at the tension with which the contacts close and apply vaseline, it's a proven product, is happy with water and can be removed with brake cleaner if required but many products would work equally well.
the contacts switch 0.1 amps to the " engine stop relay " only.

spray some chain lube in the slot for the most used indicator switch for the mechanism.

The start switch has about 1.5 Amps running to the start relay and is seldom a problem.

long time ago i discovered that a bit of grease on bolt threads keeps them in pristine condition, i see you do the same thing, the likes of the four allen bolts for the handlebars are a good candidate for that because where does the water go when it gets wet?

Would be interested in a picture and your opinion of the red engine stop switch from the inside if possible to provide some insight in it's rare failure mode.

interesting subject this....
