What can fail
If the ignition switch is turned to a position between OFF and ON, unstable electrical contact can create a continuous spark between the switch contacts. Heat from the spark can melt the contact base plate. Extended riding in this condition may cause the contacts to fail, making the lights stop working and the engine stall and fail to restart.
What the fix does
Dealers will replace the contact base plate assembly to restore proper ignition switch function.
