Dodgy Kill Switch

I don't think you describe a dodgy switch as much as its a sensitive switch. That might be a good thing someday in a panic situation where you want it to shut down right away. Just learn to keep your frickin fingers off the thing and you'll be fine! Wink

I call it dodgy. A switch that is a bit too easy to activate I would call sensitive. This switch was "tripped" by merely brushing it with a fingertip, so lightly that the switch did not perceptively move.

I intend to open the switch housing and find the problem.

Kill switches are an anachronism that may have been needed in
the past. On a modern fuel injected bike they're just another place to have electrical problems. Just ask some Moto Guzzi owners.
