Does anyone have a guide on how to rebuild the switch? I'm sure I could source the springs and balls but I have no idea how it all goes back together.

Turn signal switch rebuild help
I have an '82 GS1100GL with a corroded horn button. I opened the switch to clean the contacts and much to my dismay the springs and ball bearings flew out everywhere. After searching extensively for the pieces I resigned to buying a new one. Turns out they are completely unavailable.

No fun repairing…..I’d probably resign myself to getting a somewhat similar switch off another Suzuki and rework connections to suit. The wiring diagram will tell you what does what…..Suzuki plug in connectors vary1981 gs650L

i recently disabled the 'auto' functions on a 1979 GS1000S.
The system works with a sensor inside the tacho ; 2 wires from tacho to TSCU unit tell the TSCU the bike is rolling.
So by disconnecting the 2 wires from the tacho, the TSCU thinks the bike is stationary.
As long as the bike is stationary, no auto cancel is done.

Scroll through this album to find a number of photos of the switch. You must find your missing parts, of course. I suggest sweeping the floor into a pile, then closely inspect for the parts.

You're an absolute lifesaver. Any tips for getting the main slider reinstalled? That large spring seems tricky to get lined up.Ed
