Clean engine cutoff, starter buttons
#1
Hello,
I lost power on I-495 in a traffic jam after accidentally touching the engine cutoff.
Took me about 3 min to figure it out which really felt like half an hour with heavy traffic behind me.

I've been having issues with the button. But clicking on and off and pushing it in made contact.

I've decided that I'm done having this issue. LOL

I've taken apart the button before but did not see it readily accessible to expose the contacts. I've cleaned it with contact cleaner and it helped. But the issue returned this season. Has anyone torn the button apart to clean it?

I've placed the order for a new button about $90 but before it comes I'd like to try to clean it.

Thanks!

2014 CB 1100 about 10k miles.
