Lever Activated Latched Switch
:
(Plastic Case)
This type of switch is also found in many Japanese models. It typically has
Hi-beam passing button.
When moved in either direction, one pole is disconnected while the other
is connected.
The lever slides freely to either side and returns to the center but the
electrical switch remains latched. It must be pushed-in to release the latch.
The internal switch and the lever
mechanism must be removed from
the housing.
As you move the lever from side
to side, note the motion of the white
plastic slider. An empty cavity is
created to allow insertion of the
spiral spring.
Using small needle-nose pliers or
tweezers, insert the springs such
that the larger base is towards the
center of the switch, as shown here.
After inserting springs, make sure
the switch has full motion and
makes proper contacts for right and
left signals.
Verify that the turn signals are
activated in both directions before
reinstalling the housing back on the
handlebar.
If the movement of the handlebar
switch feels too hard, you can cut-off one
turn of each of the springs to reduce the
tension.
Or, use the Foam Plugs instead.
