Dorkburger Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I was having problems with not being able to turn off my high beam so I had to open up the control. Not sure what the issue was, but I did find a small piece of plastic floating around inside. Not sure of it’s origin, but after cleaning everything up, it works properly. There are lots of tiny parts in there that tried to make a bid for freedom when taking it apart. Pictures taken for general documentation. Hopefully helpful for others. 1 Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Whoever designed that switch unit should hang their head in shame due to its unecessary complexity and it being a total pain in the arse to use. I gave up on mine years ago and changed to a GSXR unit . Edited April 10, 2021 by Dezza Quote Link to comment
Dorkburger Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 Is the GSXR unit a plug and play deal? Quote Link to comment

The colour for the wiring is the same though so it's an easy job. This simple change separates the high/low beam switch and the indicator switch so this is a clear gain when actually riding the bike whilst wearing gloves, a point that the designer of the EFE/Katana switch failed to grasp.

Dorkburger Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 Good to know that there’s a relatively easy replacement if mine fails. After working that style of switch over the ownership of three bikes going back to the mid 90s it’s second nature . A change at this point might throw this aging rider for a loop.
