    But depends on what has failed.
    I have successfully repaired ones where the very fine braided wire has broken, but if the metallised rubber gets split or the rubber sleeve the wires sit in gets split then there is no repair other than replacement. I doubt very much that Battle will supply just those parts.
    Could just be a broken or loose wire perhaps?
    Check function of the switch by placing an Ohm meter across the plug and activating the switch. It should read 1 prior to activation and then jump down to some smallish number before going back to 1 as you let off the switch pressure. If 0 prior to activation then there is a short in the switch, if no change then there is no circuit being made.
    The rubber is split, the engine was missing and killing the ignition randomly

    The RS and gear got unloaded out of the van after Manfeild and hasn't been touched since

    Hows the progress on the IMD?

    I don't really feel the need for one.....yet
    Motorbike is so much better than standard H. Foot is near, and changing is up or down.

    The same reason why I prefer sticks on DSG rather than paddles. My limb is usually as accessible to stick rather than finding paddles.

    Where I could see the advantage is in the opposite, cut out on slightest movement of shifter (like antilag on an older "stick" rally car). So if my foot moves the shifter 1mm I get a cut out.

    I have new switches for the battle shifter in stock.

    Theres an extra bonus in having a quickshifter on a two stroke, it will keep the expansion chamber temperature more consistent and that aids performance
