And while I am at it, I think I read someone out there is someone who
repairs these switch assemblies. I think it was "Mr. Flying Duck" alias Mr Drake. Is that true Mr. Drake?
The Kill switch lever broke and it is not very quick to "kill" the bike. I don't even know if it is fixable. Looks like it is but haven't tried pulling it apart yet. What say you Mr. Drake?

Hi, Moondog,
I'm not Drake and I don't know if the switch can be repaired, but I suppose it can if you take the old one apart and have another lever or suitable replacement. I do know the advice given to those who take the switches apart is to take them apart inside a shoebox or a plastic bag, to prevent the tiny springs and other bits from making a break for freedom, never to be found again. Good Luck!

Yep, but before I get to that stage I want part in hand. Or if it is inexpensive send, it to who ever fixes it and have them chase springs

Kill switch is easy. Once you remove the switch assembly from the perch you can remove the E-clip holding it from behind.
Ill look around to see if I have a spare kill lever.
FYI: The only standalone pieces of the switches that can be purchased from BMW are the turn signal paddles.
