Guest SantaFeRider Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 no, but some times I end with more holes and less screws... there are like 20 screws per side and they are not the same length Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SantaFeRider Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 aaah! thank you dlaing... that explains why, when I changed the broken lever, I ended with my b... err... a ball on the floor. I will pick one of the dead bugs I have splatted on the fairing (too cold to wash the bike) and glue it to the brake lever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrt Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 How's the bug working out for ya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SantaFeRider Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 well, I don't know... I went to check the light again and it only intermitently works... When I assembled the stuff I used a dollop of Vaseline to hold the ball in place, and that might have damaged the micro-switch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlaing Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 and that might have damaged the micro-switch... 68778[/snapback] I doubt it. It was probably intermittantly acting up before, but you may have never noticed... But try spraying the vaseline off with some WD-40. And checkout this microswitch thread for some options: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4734&hl= I am still going strong with a non-waterproof switch from RadioShack, since that post and atleast two torrential downfalls in otherwise sunny So-Cal.

Guest SantaFeRider Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 well, what I see is that my bike does not have the white terminals; the micro switch has been connected to the bike's circuit just by soldering. When I bought the bike last month, it had 1,400 miles on it. Being a 2002 that means that it had been sitting most of its life at the previous owner's garage. When I removed the switch to insert the ball in ints channel, I must have cracked some corroded soldering, or the microswitch's internal contacts are shot due to inactivity. I will order a good supply from RS Components. Thank you again guys, your help is invaluable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ratchethack Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 To avoid concern about grease contamination of switch contacts on the new switch, may I suggest dielectric grease on the ball - Just enough to keep it from rolling out.

But just in case, I will remove the ball, clean it and the channel, and replace the ball when I have the bike on the service stand, so the ball will remain in the channel without the need of grease.

Yeah, that's right. It's just another thing you can do to shorten the remote possibilities list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_roethlisberger Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Not really any help for your situation.... which you seem to now have well in-hand, but my tail-light socket on my 2002 was miswired(backwards) from the factory. al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
