The problem is not with Honda Warranty, the problems usually lie with the dealers. Dealers are all independent, and charge customers an hourly rate based largely on what they can get, and as many hours as they can get away with. Most motorcycle shop labor rates are in the $85-$140/hr. rate. H-D, BMW and Ducati dealers are at the top.
Anyway, Honda Warranty will pay that dealer rate, but only for a prescribed flat rate, basically what an experienced tech could do in a reasonable time. But dealers want more time, often because their techs are untrained or inept, or make mis-diagnoses. So warranty jobs are given low priority, and usually done by low level "techs", even though Honda is paying the rate for a top-level Tech.

The control switch for the 2017EX is already obsolete. , But a dealer in NJ.
has one in stock. Done deal, I guess I’ve become a parts changer and I
might end up with an extra one after I dissect this one.…. lol.
I need the high beam for inspection and I’ll probably leave it on …

Thanks all for the input.

Sorry you were dis-respected by the dealers.
If by chance you do not like the horn/turn signal positions on these newer Hondas, there is a way to put a 2013 switch that has the turn signals above the horn.
