--- Quote from: billdn on May 01, 2018, 08:05:09 PM ---Sort of related, while reassembling the right hand switch cover assembly around the throttle cable housing - which went okay - I've had trouble getting the 2 halves to join together fully, either the front closes but not the rear or vice versa, I've left it with a small gap at the front, or is there a knack I'm not seeing?

They never fit together perfectly on both the front and the back at the same time. If they did, the switch gear assembly would rattle and move around. Every clamp has a gap, otherwise it wouldn't clamp, if you get my drift  ::)

And because of that, it's safest to have the gap at the back. If you have it at the front dust, grit and rain can get in there while you're riding, causing electrical gremlins in the future.

Thanks , thought I was going mad(der). Gap at the front it is (facing out) and closed at switch face makes sense. Only lost 3 hours on this !  :-\  Every day is a school day!

Nurse Julie:
No, Hairy meant front of the bike, so back of the switch, gap closed. As your sitting on the bike you should see the open gap. This stops the weather etc getting in as you are riding forward.

billdn:
Got our fronts muddled ! Get what you mean now but to me the front faces me when I'm sitting on it 😜
