Good evening all –
I’ve been working on a no start issue on my 1985 K100RS using the wonderful information on this forum. Cleaned the starter, ignition switch and right hand switch assembly. After much tracing and cleaning I finally got the starter to turn this afternoon; the issue was (I think) a combination of ignition switch and kill switch/start button gunk.
Unfortunately, now I have another problem to fix. When cleaning the R/H switch assembly I seem to have made the turn signal cancel button even more sticky. When you press it *up* the button sticks there and doesn’t return down on its own. It does have proper electrical contact as it will cancel the turn signal but you have to push it down or it will stay in cancel mode.
Has anyone seen this or disassembled the rockers for the turn signal and cancel buttons? I used the right hand switch repair instructions in the Portal (after translating from German to English), which worked wonders for the kill switch and start button cleaning.
I’m thinking now that I need to find a way to get the turn signal cancel button out of the housing for a deeper clean – if possible.
Thanks,
Tony
