Bend whatever you need to make the switch work better then smear it all with dielectric grease and you will never have a problem again.

Again be very careful of small parts under spring pressure.

That is good general advice, but I don't believe Adjuster owns an RX3.

Yes, the switch can easily get stalled in a 'dead' position. In fact, my light switch used to stall in a 'dead' position. Then the low beam would not work. Finally, the light switch would not work for either beam in any position.

I took the switch apart, and it is not designed in such a way so it can be repaired. Therefore, I cleaned the switch, and applied dielectric grease to the contacts, but it was dead.

I contacted CSC, and they sent me a new switch. CSC has excellent customer service, which is unparalleled in the world of Chinese motorcycles, and excellent for bikes from any country of origin.

I removed the slide switch which controls the headlights from the old switchgear, and I installed a nice toggle switch, instead. I will post a thread on that repair this evening, and leave a link in this thread.
