Ignition switch mayhem....... :(
Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2018 5:45 pm
The blue/grey wire coming out of the ignition switch has broken on my R1100S.
Looked a fairly easy fix with a soldering iron.
But.......
It's all gone horribly wrong.
I took out the plastic switch from the ignition block, this is the plastic cylinder which has the wiring loom attached.
I SHOULD have popped open the plastic cap at the back to reveal the wires.
Instead (following some American YouTube advice) I opened the main switch which immediately had contacts & springs falling out!!
I think I've got all the bits.
But I've no idea where they go & how to put it all back together again.
I've Google searched but can't find any instructions or diagrams on how to reassemble it.
Anyone any ideas?
