Hello,
My switch has been flopping around for a while, but now it is affecting ignition and general running.
If I turn the bike on, the lights start, but the ignition switches button (on handlebar) won't have any effect until I lift the switch assembly upwards.
Once it has started, I can release the assembly.
However, while riding, if I give it more gas it starts to sound like it is only firing on one cylinder.
This all happened at the same time so I very much doubt that the firing effect is related to something else (spark plug etc).
I have run the local Yamaha dealers parts people and had a look online.
I've only found one out there that is on EBAY.
Does anyone else know where I could locate a new one, or is it at all possible to fix it?
Here's a google photos library video of the above scenario:

In addition to the ignition not working when in the lower position, there is a clicking noise when I move the assembly up and down. It sounds like a solenoid to me but I am NOT a mechanic.
On top of that, the cylindrical section that I am pressing has also been making that same solenoid click sound (I think this is an actual solenoid) so, if it is clicking when pressed, could this also be an issue??
I'll come back and see if I can explain it better.
Cheers!
