If you turn the wavy plate so the pin aligns with a hole on the case it can be extracted. Pulling off this plate allows a pair of ballbearings to fall out. I caught them.

All my parts of old switch- fell on floor again upon prising off the bevelled collar. 0/10

Been there, the wrong side of a dozen sets of lights. I’d probably get a new one from Venhill in the first instance. They do sell the component parts if you fancy a bash at making your own. You do need to make a birdcage at the cable end. I made something suitable by drilling down a pair of angle st...

Hello and welcome to Morini ownership.
A quick fix

I should have a damaged 6 pole switch I think which I will check out tomorrow and let you know if the internals reveal anything.

We are all guilty. Refilling oil whilst omitting to refit a drain plug, starting a BMW without refitting the dipstick, knocking a main bearing clean through the case etc.
At least you noticed in time.

That info about Loctite is interesting.

One a different bike, with very accessible cylinders, I used a Spark Plug repair kit from UniThread to fit a wire insert. I used Loctite 266 and left it a few days. You have to break the insert tang off which I did in situ but captured it with a strong magnet on the tool at that moment. I have had i...

Nice to see a number plate still in place. I’d like another bike myself but one at least would have to go and I cannot decide- plus a) selling a bike for £ not so easy. b)not getting any younger( the elderly gentleman etc) b1) so don’t procrastinate b2) why bother b3) roads are sha**ed b4) can I pas...

I am keeping the bike and am not looking to sell the spare. The one on the bike is beginning to wear. Happy hunting.

Switch 460294 box labelled Commutatore SX 501 Excalib/92
Switch cable at full stretch 60cm. Plug has 9 pins and separate blue earth cable.

46.02.94 same as in Coguaro parts book
46.02.66 Excalibur Non-Kokusan looks like same design in parts book.
Ducati Paso etc has very similar swichgear
I can measure length of an as new 46.02.94 tomorrow

I have been following this thread because I had a side cover on my Coguaro drilled to accept a non existed pressure switch. There is instead a blanking plug. Due to an issue with that case I changed it for another( of the chromed variety). This has no such drilling. My instrument array fed via a Mol...

I think folk use copper grease, it’s just I use the Optimol TA grease as I use it on the beemer exhaust nuts.

My later Sport (K1) does not use the springs. The inside of the piston may say Vertex or Sciam. I have been using Threebond 1215 for a few years now on various applications( including plumbing!) . This motor never uses oil at all. It has been apart but all I did was lightly hone the bores after acqu...

Does this help?
