Question broken directional LXV150. Replacement?

[newman]

Hi -

The directional on my LXV150 has now broken twice. You're supposed to be able to move it (left or right) where it stays in that position until you press in on it slightly where it will then spring back to a neutral position and shut off. Now that it's broken it just gets stuck (either left or right) where you have to MANUALLY push / pull it back to the neutral (center) position and then push in on it to shut the directional off.

I was told when I got it fixed the first time that it wasn't just something that snapped in the housing and that they had to replace the whole unit (wiring and all) Fortunately I was under warranty the first time it broke but now that it's broken again I'm going to have to get it fixed on my own. I don't know how many of you own the LXV but if you do you'll know that the directional feels really chincy and fragile and I can see this happening again.

Was wondering if anyone was having the same problem and if maybe you've either found a solution or perhaps replaced the directional with the directional from another model bike?

Thanks!
Mike

Is it just me " I have not a clue what your on about "

+ it's rude to not introduce yourself first before asking questions

If we can't answer your query, maybe Modern Vespa can - they're into their autos...funnily enough .
