Hi all

I?ve just finished work today and when I?ve came out the bike won?t start.

Some quick googling and search of the forum I?ve found it to be a common problem for the gen 1 bike, especially if it?s been left in the sun like today.

If I can get it started I?m going to replace the switch as I?m going to the TT at the end of the month.

My question is, do I get a new oem switch or is there a aftermarket alternative which isn?t prone to failure?

I?ve come across a jet prime one on eBay looks like race switches and is slightly more expensive but I?ll oay the extra for the reliability...

Anyone got any opinions on these or a alternative option?

Thanks

Alex
 
Race Switchgear

If you are going to buy race switchgear for a road bike then make sure you check their functionality first with the seller before you buy. More often than not you will loose the ability to operate lights, horn, heated grips etc as most are only designed for race use and do away with all the road going paraphernalia.
