QUESTION: how do I get to the switch? It has a chrome cover on it, which is directly beneath the 2 oil lines coming out of the oil tank. Can i take the cover off without taking the oil lines off?  This switch has 2 wires, not one....   Thanks....

Answer
Your right on the wires. I was thinking of another year. the chrome cover should just slide off. then you use a wrench to remove the switch. Try to push the oil lines out of the way. Its a tight fit, but it can be done
Good luck and happy riding
