The connections are held in place by some small screws. Best to do this on a tray so you don't lose anything. There's a couple of ball bearings and small springs so be careful.
Clean everything up so the contacts are all nice and shiny. Resolder any wires that look iffy. Reassemble using grease to hold the springs and ball bearings in place.
They're a lot easier to repair than Suzuki switches.
Hope this helps.

No headlamp shell wiring, as stated earlier, but as for the rest... I never stood a chance! (click on the thumbnail to zoom in on the carnage)

I took just a couple of turns on the little screw that holds the starter switch in the handlebar housing, and all the bits just tumbled out. Broken switch, as you can see. No wonder it didn't work well! I think even a Suzuki switch would be easier to repair than this one...
I don't think I lost any parts, though - only one switch, so only one ball. Are these starter switch units available, or is a whole new starter/kill switch housing in my future? If the latter, I think I'll look for one with switchable lights...

You cant repair or get new that part so its another switch i'm afraid

3-D printing, anyone? $15 shipped. Looks like I've got some research to do...

I got this link from the US forum - in one of the long threads, someone with a CB400F claims to have made this work. I think, at only $15 shipped to my door, I'm basically obligated to try this, wouldn't you guys say?
