I didn't have to replace the switch. Once it is out of the switch box you can pry 2 tabs on either side and the whole switch comes apart. BE CAREFUL since there is a spring and ball detent inside Polish the copper contacts with steel wool and grease the sliding parts and it should be good to go!
This guy knows his stuff and will save one a lot of time. Mine had the same problem. Also, be careful which screws you choose to open the headlight bay if you do. The two that are visible are headlight adjusting screws. Do not unscrew them all the way, you will see why when you open the light bay using the other two screw at the bottom and harder to spot. They are the ones that you unscrew if you need to get into the light bay. Good luck. Thanks, helloish12321 for saving me so much time, good video.
Legend! Thank you so much for posting! I spent quite a lot of time back and fort on the wiring. Then I found your video. Exact same issue on my 1995’s XV 750. I owe you a beer! 😉
So funny, I had the same problem and last night made the connection that it might have something to do with my starter switch, then today woke up and stumbled onto this video. Small world lol 😊. Thanks for posting!
Excellent! It's such a specific problem so I wasn't sure the video would be very useful. I'm happy to hear it helped at least one person. As a side note I was able to disassemble the switch and polish the contacts with 0000 steel wool. Haven't had a problem 3 months later. No switch replacement necessary
on my sr250 I found the ground was bad behind the head light, problem fixed. Now I'm just working on the ignition I have spark sometimes and sometimes I don't so I'm replacing the CDI box and ignition coil in a last ditch effort to say fudge it.
