CB400F right-hand switch module removal

Geologically, it's about the same age as old England.

;D
But geology aside - you guys have 7-11's older than most of our "historic" buildings...

I removed the switch module today. I started in the headlight shell. Not sure why - if I had thought about it, I could have guessed that since the US models have no lighting switches (only starter and kill switches), it was likely the wires don't go there. Which they don't - they all go right down and around to the bundle of connectors beneath the tank on the left side.
I haven't delved in too deeply yet, but I did observe that when I loosened the two screws that secure the switch housing, the sticking starter button became much less sticky, so maybe something is loose or broken inside. I also found that one of the black wires had a bit of open insulation right where it took a hard turn into the connector at the frame, with bare wire showing through. Trying to sort out the wiring diagram to figure out whether it's already a ground wire, or if it could be a problem...

Black wires are switched power wires on Honda's I.E. live when ignition switch is turned on.

There you go, then. It was bundled up inside that "rubber" sock encasing all those connectors, so I don't think it's likely it would have caused a short-circuit fault, but still probably a good thing to have found and fix!
