Side Stand Switch

[darrsi]

The secret is to do what they do in the factory.  Take the engine out then you've got good access to change the switch and once that's done put the engine back in the frame!

When mine failed I ended up cutting/smashing the old switch to remove it and using allan bolts when putting the new one in since you can't get a screwdriver on the screw heads

Yeah, i'm starting to realize that "secret".  :'(

I've cleaned up the whole area of chain lube so at least i can see it now, and now it just looks like a very unappealing job.

I'll stare at it a bit longer then decide what to do next.
