Help,  my front brake switch is not working correctly.   I sprayed wd 40 on connections I could get to.  I can't find a replacement switch on bike bandit parts list either.  I think someone was just talking about this problem on this board but I can't find it.  What have you all done when this happened to you?
thanks

I would remove the switch, its just held on by single screw.....clean it and work the button over and over.....clean the whole area........

The switch housing has a small vent hole in it. Spray some Tef-Lube in it and work it by hand several times. Reinstall and she'll probably be good for years.
