Z1000A1 STARTER BUTTON MYSTERY

#1 PostAuthor: dave cullen » Thu Jun 25, 2020 2:24 pm

So today I haul the A1 out in preparation for some brake stuff tomorrow, get it started with a couple of swings on kick starter, trusty old thing that it is, warm it up, then go get gear on for a short trip, press the starter button, eh what starter button, the f**king thing has snapped off!!!

So what do I do, can the button mechanism be replaced from an old switch unit, or is it the whole switch and wiring that has to be changed?

Advice as always appreciated
