if you remove or lower the headlight bowl (take off the light unit and remove 1 of the indicator stems. this gets you more room.

remove idiot light cover.
disconnect ign switch
unscrew round black plastic bit from top of switch.
drop switch out from the bottom

refit in reverse.

Ok the inevitable happened and the wires in the male plug came out leaving only the white attached!
How do i connect the wires back into the male brass pins!

new plug with new pins is what i'd do - try vehicle wiring products or bikerstoolbox
