I do remember reading someone had a similar problem and used a little WD40 on the switch area. I would use it sparingly .
Found the thread, @hattitude post 21 had the best fix

thanks V
I had a look at that thread and it def sounds like it is a fairly common issue
I’m going to check on the recall that others have mentioned as well, then go from there. I’m looking to change handlebars soon and I’d like to get this resolved before jumping into that project.

Earlier I stated that I couldn’t get to the plunger....well I should have looked more closely.....I had a second look in the daylight and easily found it.
And the problem is still intermittent dang it. Comes & goes.
What did you use for lube?

My 2015 had the same intermittent no-start-in-gear issue. Nothing I tried, including taking apart the switch pack and lubricating it, would resolve it until I replaced the entire switch pack (about $120).
