has anyone attempted to disassemble the ignition switch on the tank to clean the contacts. The bike is a 2015 so it has the canbus system, switch does not look like older style with circlip to hold back together.

 

I've done the older ones, pretty easy to disassemble and clean...... but I never messed with a canbus switch...

If you should decide to give it go, takes some pics and share what you find....

 

Try this link!

It's instructions on how to do what you're asking about.

 

I believe that is for the pre-canbus switch... sounds like what I did on my 2003 Heritage..

OP has a can-bus bike. He said the switch looks different from the earlier ones, with no circlip on the back holding it together...

 

so I was out on bike yesterday about 105 degrees left bike in the sun , ignition switch gave me all kinds of problems before finally starting, Houston we have a problem !!!!!

 

When I cleaned & lubed my ignition switch ('03 Heritage).... I had never taken one apart before...

I knew it was the switch, so I figured before ordering a new one, I'd try to fix the old one...

I took numerous pics each step of the way so I wouldn't forget how it went back together... it paid dividends when I couldn't remember the orientation of the last piece, directly under the circlip...

Give it a shot...!

 

unfortunately this switch is different because it has the can-bus system their was no circlip on the back to take switch apart

 

Wow, can't even disassemble it... that sucks..
