“1. Began having problems keeping headlight on after starter switch pushed. Had to start jiggling starter switch to turn on headlight. 2. Started having headlights turn off during driving (especially dangerous during night rides!). Needed to jiggle starter switch to get headlight back on. Starting motorcycle now difficult also. 3. Tried wd40 on starter switch, didn't help. Just have to keep jiggling starter switch to get headlight to stay on (takes more jiggling everytime).”
