If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I need to clean the horn button contacts, and I recall a post that said the lever needs to be rotated in order to disassemble the switch. Could anyone elaborate on the details of how to remove the switch, ie push in and rotate clocwise or other similar tips?
 
I raise your horn button to a left hand side control these are all similar in theory?
the horn button is 3 parts and get very dirty. first 5 are the horn button also the last 2 near bottom) .the contact plate slide out after depressing the horn button in
putting it back is fun do not difficult do this on table with a towel no roll no fly zone. the photos can be slide viewed which makes them bigger.

Been working on a how to clean and repair the Left side control Still a work in-process but the photos may help you,
picked up this hand control on ebay for 15 bucks with a broken hi/low switch Must have been on a busted outside bike.

pictures of a before and after cleaning in process this is an earlier control based on the metal bracket mine only has one and this has two

OK, I've answered my own question. For me, the trick was to cut the tie wrap holding the harness where it enters the housing, then the wires can be pushed away to reveal the last screw. Once the assembly comes out, make sure it has a wrap around it in case the small bits decide to go exploring. The actual switch lever stays with the housing, but is easily rotated to come free, but doesn't need to be removed to clean the contacts.
