R1150GS - Indicator microswitch replacement

[Cook1e]

Received today. Shame they don't fit............

I think you need to unsolder them from the little PC board. There's a thread with pictures somewhere...

No. I bought a second hand unit for an 1150 that had three switches in it. I used one of those and now have two good spares. Cheaper than the Farnell ones too!

Hi all,

my right indicator has failed and I've been advised that it's the switch. Seen previously that the switch alone is available. Anyone got any int on where I can get one from.

Cheers.

Sorry, but I just called in ,showed them the "bit" and they went and took one off a breaking bike. No computers, digital information, printed documents or live animals were used in the transaction which was completed using actual coinage. All very twee and Old School I know.

Rang Motorworks and they send me 2 used original switches....tried aftermarket and found they feel really different...not as responsive...
worked out well, bit of soldering and you are in business

I’ve had three of these break over the years. It was never the switch but instead the plastic nipple that activates the switch. Not saying that is the case with yours. The cluster is full of tiny springs that tend to fly off to dark parts of the floor, so be careful if you are replacing the switch itself!
