Sticky Switch

[LochLaddie]

My trip/info switch is sticking in the down position (info). Any thoughts? Is it easy to strip and clean or wait and hope it clears itself?

Cheers for the help ....

If the bike's still in guarantee get it replaced, it's a common problem

Otherwise a squirt of WD40 should sort it

How many times do you hear this .... so frustrating with manufactures .... it will be a squirt

WD40 may damage the thin waterproof seals in the switch element - assuming they are the same as the early 1200 ones, happened to mine.

Would you suggest anything else to use.?

If its under warranty,

leave well alone, and get it sorted by the dealer,

mine was changed under warranty

if out of warranty - any of the options above, but bear in mind its longevity may be limited, so plan to refurb/ replace at some point in the future

Honestly no - get the switches replaced.

This was my thread from years ago - may be relevant still? depends on how the design has changed.
