Switchs on left handlebar
Hey Fellow Wingers
Does anyone know how to clean the switches for the leveling and radio on the left handlebar

I had a front brake switch stop working from non-use while the bike was down for repair. I used WD-40 and cycled the switch until the contacts were clean and the switch bench tested functional. I have also used a contact cleaner from Radio Shack to clean the MULTIPLE servos, contacts and switches of a 70's pinball machine.
Others may have other suggestions, but this was worked for me. Time involved, but it does work.

Good Luck.

Thats about it in the previous post.

Mine finally died and I came up with a simple replacement with switches that can be purchased for about $3-4.00 at a local electrical shop.


I did have a one time access to a person who printed out the label

The only stupid questions are the one's that are not asked.

I just cleaned my radio channel switch with WD40 and a lot of manipulation. That was after I peeled off the label and saw there was no easy way to get inside. If the fix doesn't last, I may have to take a knife to the seam on the case and pry or cut it open....I've seen others say it can be done and then cemented back together.

I reattached the label with two-sided cellophane (Scotch) tape....used the same method to reattach my 86 SEi trip computer face following a hopeless attempt at rehabbing it! I'm still groping around for a replacement for that face...
