I had to replace that dual function switch on the Forza. Honda uses the same switch on forza and silverwing. On mine, the brake light wouldn't work, but the starting function was ok
20 gauge shotgun brush. Be careful which ones you use though, break fluid can eat the copper brushes brother. You should probably use stainless steel brushes.
On my brake master cylinders I just bleed it because no kit for it and I do order master cylinder over sea from Pompa Freno! And I decided take apart all the panels to replace on tilting brake pads and replace other brake pads front & rear and that a lot of work in a carport! And started next year I try to get permit from DMV because I do not like MSF telling me how to drive a motorbike for my age!! QuasiRaw
I also tested that off-camera by removing the lever and depressing the switch arm fully. That limit switch is bad, so I ordered both front and rear brake switches from PartZilla. Those should arrive sometime in the next few days. I'll replace those, and then open the handlebar cover to remove my jumper. 😉👍 --QM
I smoked the Dr.Pulley HiT clutch in the SilverWing during some nasty stop-n-go rush hour traffic. I was too busy to deal with that issue at the time, so I parked it in the garage... thought I'd get back to it later that fall. I purchased my 2014 Honda CB500X around that same time, so I started using it as my primary commute tool, and I spread out the miles across a few other bikes (Yamaha R1, Ducati Monster 1100, Triumph Daytona 675). The sport bikes weren't good as daily riders, so the CB500X became the mile muncher. 😉👍 --QM
@@QuasiRAW Honestly I would go with a Polini or Malossi variator if available. Dr. pulley has been hit or miss at times in my experience tuning CVTS. Also, the CVT cover could benefit greatly from adding ventilation cuts or holes. Or an aftermarket vented cover. Especially in that Texas heat....damn man, I thought Virginia was humid. 🤣 The reason I recommend the cover is that the contra and clutch springs can become heat saturated and lose their strength and or fail completely. It also cooks the belt much quicker. Any ventilation in the cover could help the longevity of CVT components. Obviously there could be downsides to ventilation but they're not as bad as you might think if rhe ventilation is done well. Also look into a ball bearing torque driver base. This helps the contra spring not bind nearly as much. This helps it change "gears" more quickly and with less resistance which also helps the ovwrheating inside the CVT. It makes the rear pulley downshift smoother faster and it feels immensely better. It should be a super easy install and not too expensive, maybe $50 or less. It will make your contra spring have more a little more force because it makes it a tick shorter, which may require slightly heavier rollers to feel the same. Depending on what rpm torque/contra spring you're curerntly running. If it's a weaker stock spring you may not notice as much or any difference in the roller tuning.
Those dang toe starts! LOL--your a special kinda dude! LOL!
Never go in dry. 😅 wiggle and twist.

Brakes to tight you have to pull the brake further for the start

Why did you stop riding this bike ? What replaced it ?

@@QuasiRAW thanks for sharing! Hopefully we get a long trip on the wing soon
