      @Vcelicka Start by giving the handlebar switch a good dose of WD40 as these always get neglected, it's a harsh environment for a switch.

      Use a full can with the straw on the end and spray loads in so it fizzes and bubbles out of all the holes, then operate the switch about 20 times to clean the contacts and free up all the little springs etc inside. Hold a rag underneath so you don't get any on the front brake. Good idea to do this after every time you wash the bike to make the switches last a lot longer.

          @HOTSHOT-III WD40 also does a brilliant job at reviving plastic and giving it a bit of shine so you’re doing jobs at once if you use your WD40 soaked cloth to give all your plastics a wipe
