05 cbr 600rr (super glued start button)
 
My headlights stopped working today on my 05 cbr 600rr so i looked up how to fix it. So what I had to do was unscrew the two screws under the start button and make sure that the 3 wires were connected. One of them wasn't connected and wouldn't connect. So i had to super glue it to its right place but I ended up applying to much super glue all over that some dripped on the start button and now I can't press it. Now the headlights work, but there is no way that I can press the "start button" :( what should I do? Should I hammer it lightly to loosen up the super glue? :(

Thank you and any advice is appreciated. I know it was a big mistake on my part i should have been more careful.

I think you'd probably be able to break it loose if you kept applying pressure to it. The problem is that the super glue is not going to hold that wire for long. It needs to be soldered. I think based on your current situation, I'd cut my losses and just pick this up. For $55, you know it's a 100% fix. Item #4.

I couldn't agree more. Depending on well the connection is, you may end up with some hot wires if there are only a few strands holding. If that happens, you can bet the glue will soften and you will loose headlights again. This time, it could be mid corner at night.. Not a good situation. And thats only if the vibration doesn't break the connection. Super glue will not hold the wires.

If you can't solder it on, replace it like IDoDirt suggested.
