RE: [ST] Here's a poser

Mort and Steve,

I believe that this item was replaced on my ST late Winter early Spring (it's all one season out here in CA). I'm one of the unfortunates that doesn't have a dry place for my bike currently, and although I usually try to keep it covered, sometimes I'm caught off guard and it is left out in the rain. Anyway, when i took my bike in for the 12k service, they found the starter switch was corroded. I hadn't experienced any of the difficulty, but I have no doubt, had my dealer not found it and replaced it, I would have.

I paid nothing, since it was covered under warranty. If either of you is still under warranty, you might want to look into it.
