Nuetral safety switch again
2014 Ultra. 47K miles. Going on 3rd neutral safety switch replacement. I checked you tube for a simple "fix". Didn't really find one. Did find one where the service guy replaced the entire control section of the clutch. Stock replacement is about $220. Upgraded lighted one was about $250. Bike is still under warranty. Unable to ride due to a broken leg. Maybe getting back on it mid May. Is there an easier more cost effective way to clean a moving part or something rather than spending $250 every couple of years (bike is out of warranty May 31 this year)? If I have to I will have my friend ride it over to HD to have it fixed before the warranty runs out but I am looking down the road as well. This is bound to happen again if this is the 3rd time it's happened.
Thanks to all
Jeff

Call your dealer - explain you broke your leg. My bet is they may be willing to come get your bike, especially since it is under warranty.
Plus, I would make sure you document your prior failures. Oftentimes, when the same part fails, the manufacturer is willing to fix the bike or extend the warranty on that malfunction.

I saw a you tube video that suggested going with the upgraded model. I will do tact HD tomorrow and see what we can do.

I have the lighted switches - been on my bike since sometime in 2014 and I have not had any problems.
The lighted switch pack is $250 for both the left and right. Consider asking the dealer to replace both - he may not even charge you for the difference - especially since this has been repaired so many times before. If he wants to charge you - ash him to call Harley and explain

I had my left switch pack fail twice, both times under warranty. The second time, the dealer offered to replace it with the lighted switch and I would pay a discount price for the right side lighted pack. I have the lighted switches now for over a year and have had no issues.

Called the dealer I usually do bidniz with. They will gladly tow it in and back for $60 per trip. May call my roadside assistance and have it towed in. Gonna ask someone I trust to ride her in for me before I call roadside assistance.
And I will definitely see about getting both sides done.
Thanks everyone. I appreciate it.
