So I had previously changed out the ignition switch as part of the official recall, IAW Yamaha Tech Bulletin M2009-002R, almost 7 years and 85K miles ago. I've been getting the Code 19 Error more and more frequently over the last few months. At first a shot of contact cleaner into the bottom weep hole cleared it up for a while. This past week I was getting it almost every day. It would clear with several cycles of the ignition switch.
I had recently picked up a new OEM switch off of ebay for about $55. I changed it out yesterday. Since I had done it once before, I knew what was involved. I picked up some new cobalt drill bits and decided to install cap screws instead of the security bolts, just in case I ever have to do this again. Wish I had done that the last time, but I didn't figure I'd be doing it again.
Today, I drilled out the security bolts on the bottom of the switch to take a look at the contacts. Found some corrosion on two of the four contacts. Posted some pics are below in case anyone was curious about the change or the switch. I think Brodie posted pics of switch internals when this issue first reared its ugly head.
To add to the fun, when I went o put the bike up on the centerstand, it was leaned over to the right with both stand feet contacting the ground, before I pulled it up. Took and look and the stand is bent, with corrosion at the right side weld. The whole thing seems flexible and ready to let go. So I found one off an '07 on ebay and its on its way. Have to take a look at the stand swap, as I know its a PITA, to say the least.
Switch opened up.
