I've bitten the bullet and pulled my dodgy ignition switch apart to be cleaned and De-Oxitted. (Fairing off, tank off etc). While its in this state, I will replace the oil/water pump seals.
Also, over the last 12 months or so, the speedo has been behaving erratically, esp in the summer, after several hours in the saddle. It works fine for at least 2 hours, then the needle wanders down and up and all over the shop. Is it the sensor/pick-up at the final drive or in the bowels of the instrument cluster? It seems to be heat related. Before I pull the thing apart, I thought I would post, with a view that if anyone had experienced this before, what to look for. Fore warned is fore armed, as they say in the classics. I thought that it would be a good opportunity to try and get this sorted. I have access to an oscilloscope, variable power supply and audio sig gen (sine only)
Thanx, Rickmeister.
