GSX1100es front brake switch

[PaulP]

I had to remove the front brake reservoir as the plInger had stuck forward, unfortunately when removing the lever the brake switch parts dropped on the floor, I found 2 pieces, a plastic pin that the lever operates and a brass contact that fits inside it, unfortunately on rebuild it doesn’t work and can’t stop wondering if there should be a spring to ensure contact, had a good search on the floor and used a magnet but I can’t find anything, does anyone know this part to confirm if I am missing something or maybe just bad assembly ??

Yes there should be a spring in there.

Thanks, looked for another hour crawling on the floor without any luck, but the spring in a cheap biro was the perfect size and works well
