Kill switch not working 07 CRF450r

[BergArabia]

Well at least it is not stuck in the off position.

The bike starts OK and runs OK but the kill switch does nothing.

I have had to use the hot start (that'll kill it when it is cooler) and dropping the clutch when in gear to stop it.

So should I just give it all a good clean up? buy a new switch? or leave it.

I guess what I am worried about is doing something to get it stuck in the off position.

Could it be a loose/cut wire..

Sorry for the lame questions I am just not sure how the switch works. I mean does it just interupt a complete circuit?, in which case cutting wires etc would be v bad. Or does it work some other way?

Well I shouldn't be so lazy.. Turns out a little clean up and some wiggling and it is all back to normal..?
