The switch on my 650 had a screw, which was a bit hard to see. This screw held the circuit panel in place. Once you pull that off, springs and ball bearings will (may) fly, take care! New switch $90.00, plus or minus. The fun of finding ball bearing and springs, priceless. I did mine, cleaned the contacts and reasembled and the horn works good. I need to take apart again and install the springs and ball bearing I found weeks afterward. I made a little tool, to compress the horn spring untill I could assemble the panel back on. The tool inserts through a slot in the side of the housing. If this dosen't make sense, PM me and I'll take some pictures.

And as others said, the horn button parts are not avaialble seperatly, just with the entire asssmebly with turnsignal and choke and everthing. (can get clutch switch and front brake switch seperatly).

After going to the tread Bonanza dave showed me (thanks),i think its got all the info i need.Before opening up pandora's box, first i'll try spraying it like redman suggested .Im still not sure how to take the slide-blinker switch off (where you push side to side)does it just pull off? some of the guys broke that.I'm thinking of opening it up in a clear bag to catch the shrapnel when it explodes. thank again for the info!

Reassemble the switch guts with dielectric grease. It will hold all the little parts in place and lube the switch movement too.82 1100 EZ (red)
