You might start saving up for a new switch. They aren't really that expensive considering how long they last and all they do for you.

The second switch is the "Euro" switch that allows you to turn off your headlight.
The Euro switch was the only one I could find a year ago. It worked fine and figuring out the headlight was tons of fun. Hint, the USA headlight relay needs attention.

Isn't there a lengthy webpage treatise available on handlebar switch rebuilding techniques, complete with sidebars on various solder types and techniques, competing plastic epoxies, supply houses for replacement springs, detent balls, etc., discussions about the merits and shortcomings of using various solvents, lubricants, water dispersants, etc. on delicate mechanisms and circuitry?
This is really good.

You may find an appropriate plastic bag at the refrigerator store. Remember, though, don't let anyone close the top when you're in there!
