Dodgy Kill Switch
#21
You may rock your switch on-off several times to get back its functionality and self contact clean out.
If problem persists, may need to take further simple action, like internal inspection/servicing/resistance measurements.....to confirm the problem and successful fixing.
I mostly use my kill switch, along with the ignition.

I waited until I got home from the rally and then tried what peterbaron suggested. After rocking it back and forth 10 or more times, it no longer is a problem.

Before I wash (power) my bike, I always wrap up switches and grip pappies with soft plastic bags that prevent any handlebar mounted switches from water intrusion = no worries later. 0.02

Glad you got it sorted. I like free fixes.
Good seeing y'all again this week. Be safe and have fun! Thumbs Up
