    Suzuki GS1000e ignition

    Not really up with electrics so would appreciate some advice if possible. When I insert the key into the ignition switch and turn on the green neutral light and oil light come on briefly then lose power and go out so I turn off with the key and turn on again and it is okay. Sometimes I have to do this twice. Does anyone know where I should start looking please.

    Your ignition switch
    You have to go in by taking the headlight shell out of the way
    Then, 2 mounting bolts from the bottom and put the switch on your bench
    I small bolt to remove the electrical plate
    Carefully remove the plastic cover, there's a small spring and ball in there
    Clean all of the copper contacts on the plate with 2000 grit sand paper, or chemically clean
    Same with the plates
    A dab of dielectric grease and assembly is the reverse of disassembly
    If it looks burnt, post up some pictures
    And clean the wire connector
