Well, that's what I'm afraid of........not really. But just getting at the switches is the problem. I tried to pull the cover to adjust the lever angle on the grips and could only pull them 1/4" at the most.At first I could not even move them. I managed to adjust the angle on my levers, but only because I had a ball-end Allen wrench I could work in there with, but barely. I did not insist for the switches, not wanting to damage anything......I think the wiring is clipped in there somehow and holding me up? Sure looks easy in the BMW repair manual, one screw!!!!, but I know better.......!

That's why I was afraid to recommend that to anyone.....getting at least some lube in there to prevent corrosion was the priority on my bike.
Never had any problems getting at the switches on my K100RS or my GS......I agree with the mucky grease they like to put in there, too much of it in the wrong places....!

Now roof seals......General Motors used to sell a product we called Latex in the shop, could have been pure latex, because that was well before sillycone and teflons, Came in a small bottle with an applicator, looked like latex , and sure worked good, really penetrated in the rubber and swelled it. I was thinking about that lately, I own a new GM with poor sealing around the doors, whistling noises, don't mind on my bike, hate it in the car......! I tried some "Special Seal Lubricant" someone had at home, don't know if it was sillycone or teflon based, did nothing however.....! Maybe I should go back to the old tried and true product, if still available, and stay away from them "Miracles in a Can" like my grandpa used to call them.

I have time to think about them switches, shop is too
