anybody have any trouble with main ignition switch on triumphs as i had ,? DONT go paying £108.00 for replacement and then have to pay £28.00 per key on top!!!! thats right, daylight robbery. Its so simple to get over the worn out part problem. very carefully dismantle the switch eletrical section where the wires come out. it does not matter if the plastic sleeving splits a bit.you will find the little contacts inside are slightly worn. clean them then wipe a bit of solder on each surface, just a smear mind not a lump push it all back together and hey presto sorted. No forking out a kings ransom to dealers who in my opinion are ripping us off!!!! If i can be of any help just message me or call on 07989749699 john
