Headlight switch/flasher

[Elvisto]

After flashing a couple of lorries through, (out in Snowdonia today )

My switch went all limp, and refused to work again, leaving me on main beam only,

Called into Chester Motorrad, soon fixed in double quick time, left me on dipped beam, ordered a new switch

And did my rear pads under warranty while they were at it,

Great service from the dealer, thanks chaps

How many miles had your rear pads lasted?

Had similar switch on my K1300 since 2009 without any problems. Hope your new switch comes quickly!

Thanks Dave, they've ordered it and confirmed its in stock in Germany, and given me an appointment to fit it

I complained about the pads at 3,300 mls, (less than 4,000 they're done under warranty), I've done 5,600 now, they were worn out, so i was pleased they changed them,

 

[dave hendy]

Do you know if they have changed the material or will the new ones last the same time?

The new ones have a different, thicker material.

 

[Elvisto]

They just said it was a harder material

Not sure whether it's thicker, would there be enough room ?

Time will tell

Although they should be able to get pad material right

That would make more sense
