Well, I think mine is starting to screw up? Sometimes I hit it, nothing, let off and hit it again, it may take off? Might even take another time or two. I have read "the fix" but I hate small parts. Is this a tuff fix and is there a way to keep the springs and ball bearing in place without them ending up on the other side of my garage? Anyone hve any pics of this?

Search the tech page. There are several write-ups (with picts) that take you through step by step.  :cooldude:

I've had to do "the fix' twice in 137,000 miles. Second time was at a gas station and it took a total of 10 minutes with a Phillips and pocket knife.
I ride a motorcycle because nothing transports me as quickly from where I am to who I am.

Had to do mine in a parking garage last Sunday. Just quit and wouldn't start. Used Phillips from tool kit and a fingernail emery board to clean contacts, 10 minutes tops.

Comes apart tonight. When I bought this bike is was very neglected. The blinker switch was stuck and took some time but its fine now. I'm down to the little things, but this just happened.

my blinker switch works but when below 40-45 degrees out,  the turn signals when push button left or right comes on 6-9 seconds after I push the button.  So, I just don't drive in 40 or below temps that often anyways just in the late fall guessing 2-3 weeks of the year end of November and at night and I try to remember to push the turn signals on like 100 yards before turning is all.

Mine was real sticky and the right wouldn't come on at all. WD and some time took care of that. Been good for almost 8 months now. I sprayed the crap right out of it and worked it a bunch. Like I said, so far so good.
