henktr Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Hello, During the removal of my speedometer, I bumped into hazard rocker switch of my TR250. The switch fell on the ground and I have found: 1. the switch knob, 2. the copper round part 3 spring/plastic part I can't get the swich working again with these parts. Am I missing something or am I not that good in solving puzzles? Regards Henk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fremont Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Not missing anything if memory serves. You may have a bad flasher unit; the goods ones were made by Signal Stat and can be found on eBay sometimes. Cheers, Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
henktr Posted March 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 No it's the switch itself. . When I reassemble the switch it doesn't function as it's supposed to. I can't seem to move the internal copper part up and down. The spring wobbles on the small round projection of the knob. I have the feeling something is missing here. When i connect the terminals manually the hazard lights are flashing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waldi Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Hi Henk, if you clean the internal parts with fine sandpaper (like 320 or 400) and then apply some vaseline it may work. Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
henktr Posted March 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Thanks for the advice, but it made no difference. I'm missing the click of the switch I had before in the 2 positions.The edge of the plastic fork on the side of the spring is rough. Is it possible that something broke off?

Harbottle Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 Just a thought, check inside the hole it left behind in case something is still there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
henktr Posted April 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 With help from our Triumph friends from the Triumphexperience forum the problem is solved. I’m missing a small dish that fits in the spring. ( see picture) The next problem wil be finding this very small part. My first try was without results :-(. thanks for you’re reactions regards Henk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waldi Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Good that you found the problem. Maybe you can make one? Not sure if it needs to be plastic, otherwise a tiny srew could be a good starting point. That said, you can buy nylon (or other plastic) screws too. Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
henktr Posted April 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Waldi, A screw to start from is a good idea. I’ll keep you informed. regards Henk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
