Where can I get a new switch for my 1992.  At the front brake lever, my piston is sticking, like the spring jumped over the piston. Searched the net far and wide and they are not available on any of the OEM sites.   3XW-82917-00-00  I believe.  Any ideas?  I'll take it off tomorrow to see if I can unstick it.  Thanks -Dave

Have you checked with Randy at RPM? He is a Yamaha dealer and has access to all kinds of parts for our FJs and more...
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Which one is sticking... the switch, or the brake master piston?
