Consumer Description

I WENT TO START MY MOTORCYCLE IN THE GARAGE AND IT HAD NO POWER. I AM AN ASE CERTIFIED MASTER TECHNICIAN. I TRACED THE PROBLEM TO A FAILURE OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. I DISASSEMBLED THE SWITCH AND FOUND THAT THE SOLDER JOINT ON ONE OF THE POWER WIRES HAD MELTED, AND THERE WAS HEAT DAMAGE TO THE CONTACTS INSIDE THE SWITCH. I RE-SOLDERED THE WIRES, CLEANED THE CONTACTS, AND REASSEMBLED THE SWITCH. I AM STILL USING THIS SWITCH, BUT I SUSPECT IT MAY FAIL AGAIN DUE TO THE NUMBER OF OTHER FAILURES THAT HAVE BEEN OCCURRING LATELY, AS LISTED ON FJRFORUM.COM. *TR
