So the other day i was removing the risers i put on the bike and checked the old bars for trueness against a new set..
All good, but whilst putting on the electronics on the left hand side of my f800 it was a bit tight so i thought, well just give it a bit of a shove... it'll be all right
Today (a whole day later) the main beam stopped working...
Well looks like i pushed the switch off the flexible pcb.. No main beams ever!!
No then, no one seems to be selling a second hand on and i have an mot coming up soon. Found ones for sale in the USA for £150 second hand without the ESA etc that I have...
Anyone have any clever suggestions for mending this.............
Stupid meeeee!
Re: Stupid meeeee!
Can’t believe it 177 pounds for the part just over that little switch.

Re: Stupid meeeee!
Greetings,
Perhaps a switch from another motorcycle might be substituted or the original repaired by an electrician or computer technician.
Might I suggest that you could find a specialist breaker to guide you, such as;

I don't know the named company, only found them on the internet.

Hi Cone can you flip the first picture over please?

Re: Stupid meeeee!
If trying to source second hand - the switch gear is possibly common to other models my gs12 switchgear is anyway.

Re: Stupid meeeee!
Far too delicate for a bike that will be used offroad!--is all that delicate complexity because of canbus?--whatever happened to simple sliding contacts and properly clamped cables like a normal 3 pin plug?--anyway--good luck on fixing it.
