If you search for ' xr80 in someone's office' in the Google ai tool (Gemini) it throws up some interesting reading - not necessarily the answers being sought, but not a bad read anyway.

I've safely removed the switch. I've pressed with a drill bit and it's now loose and moving a few milimetres, but I'm not getting continuity which is a shame. I might need a new switch after all. I can't think why it wouldn't work though unless the connectors have corroded inside.

Good thought - I had been wondering if there was a way of applying air pressure to do that. I suppose the question would remain - how much pressure...but it can't get too much? But at least it would check that any internal circuit was ok before I fill it up with fluid again.

New switch?
- if the old one still works I won't need to replace it. - the old one looks a lot nicer than a shiny new one. - not to mention the cost, plus the tax I would have to pay for a new one...! I was trying it fairly gently with a spanner, but I'll give it a good soak for a while then try with a socket. 9

It's a pressure switch. Mine is tight/ corroded in the three-way mounting and I'm wary of snapping it off.
Aside from that here a way to test it when it's off the bike/ without fluid in it? Why does one of the bullet connectors seem to be hollow, and one isn't ( see piccie)? Thanks for any insight! 10

...then theres the ZXMoto 500cc, 72hp. Retro. Proper clocks. Supposedly coming to the UK where the Honda 500 isn't.

...I'm just trying to remember my forks from an old bike, doesn't does 42 screw into 17, ,(42 from the bottom/outside the fork - and 17 is inside) and that's what holds it all in?

I had a similar thing with my old Triumph....I backed off the screws holding the springs and it went from needing Charles Atlas to change gear to be lovely and light.
