Nice to see a methodical approach.  Well done.

Is your kill switch stock or aftermarket?

stock switch.  i had this problem on the 550 and did a less than correct way to fix it by wrapping the bars where the control clamps onto the bars with electrical tape.   That worked for me, but i know it doesn't fix the actual problem i was having, i expect it to come back and cause problems further down the line.  At least if i actually fix the problem on the 750 i will be well versed in the procedure to fix it on the 550, i don't want to mess with both bikes at once, cause it's warm enough to ride and i like to have a bike that is working to play with.

Thanks for your help, progress makes me feel better about of myself
