i stripped and cleaned my kill switch today and i've think i've made it worse so a new one as got to be bought, the guy told me it's been modified and cost around £35 + vat a bit expensive but i should get peace of mind.

Wow, that price hurts my eyes. Why don't you try eBay?

The Kill switch lists at £37.15 plus VAT and delivery from Aprilia Yorkshire, so looks about right I suppose. I just ordered 2 x pins and split pins to hold the disc pads in one front caliper for £19.70 incl. delivery. Sounds ridiculous but two dealers had just quoted me £20 over counter, but neither had them in stock and expected at least two weeks before delivery. That's £40 for 4 pins, i.e. service items to be checked/replaced, when you change the front pads! What's even worse is I will have the bike off the road for at least 10 days as they don't have em in stock either. They used to come free with new sets of pads!

Are they the same as the old mille one? Just a 2 wire switch? That seems extortionate. Are you under warranty? If not why not fit one off summat else ?

i`ve just bought the 2 pins and split pins off Aprilia Yorkshire. (ultimate parts now)
it came to £16.15 inc P&P but i did ask them to send it in a jiffy bag at £3.50 to keep the price down.
check the bag before you open it as mine didn`t have the split pins in, and they are supposed to be included.
They are forwarding some on though.

I think I have a spare one in the garage. Want me to bring it up this week along with the screen - call it a fiver for the switch ?

Will have to try this Brembo site myself next time.
Hope the split pins come with mine in around ten days or will be well peeed off myself, as my bike's off road at the moment until I get them.
Took front calipers off to clean and found there was only one pin holding pads in on the RHS. Not sure how long they have been like that, never noticed any vibration or anything. Need to sort quick, ready for meet up at Newark a week on Sunday. May end up with a small bolt fitted as a temp solution if don't arrive in time!

howard, thats how mine are at present, just happened to have perfect size bolt in my garage.
lost mine because after working on the brakes i went for a run, came back to find pin missing, but split pin still where i`d left it, in the tray.
