    Starter button piece?

    I've had a problem recently where my headlights just stop working (Hi's, Lo's, everything). I took apart the whole starter case on the right bar and found that the piece of metal that's embedded in the plastic of the actual button is bent on one side, so it fails to complete the circuits for lights/starter.

    I've bent the metal back and as long as there's pressure pushing down on the connections from above (stuck some folded paper and electric tape in there), it works.

    Does anyone have a spare piece I could buy, or know where I could get one without buying a whole new setup?

    (I'll post up some pictures, since my description sucks - pictures are now attached)

    that left side assembly sells for dirt cheap on the WERA forums. maybe like $10.

    but if anyone here has one, you might want to post the year GSXR. looking at your avatar, i'm guessing 05?

    shawn, stock is 1/4 turn, you mean a 1/5th turn. If you want to really shorten your throw, i have a brand new 1/6th throw throttle tube available.
