clutch microswitch gen1

[mike g]

Been having a few issues lately with bike not starting in gear (clutch in stand up) had the switch out twice now and it seemed to be all there and "clicking" and seemed to work afterwards.

Did it again recently, so I thought I'd check with the GS911 and sure enough the switch is only working intermitantly. When you pull the clutch in it lets the switch "pop out" and make a circuit - you can check by disconecting the plug from the loom and shorting across the wires (in the loom) - sure enough works ok.
trying to get a meter on the connector prongs isn't possible with the equipment I've got (all a bit "tight").

Any way got a new one coming from latvia via ebay for ?30, so hope that fixes it.

tape a couple of straitened paper clip on you meter prongs for tighter spaces.
