The clutch switch on my ST's been playing up for a while now - usual problem, sometimes the bike would start in gear with the clutch pulled in, sometimes it wouldn't. I'd squirted cleaner in there a while ago, and it sorted it for a while, but the issue soon returned.
So, today I set-to the job. Glasses perched on nose, tools at the ready....let battle commence. 1-minute job to undo the little grub screw that holds the switch in and get the switch out....2-minute job to fettle it with some contact cleaner, another couple of minutes to clean out the housing, which was full of black gunge....and then 45 bastard minutes searching through the stones on the drive for that little bloody drawing-pin thing that I'd forgotten about, which fell out and bounced off my boot!!
Ah well, all back together, adjusted and working as intended!
