I bet you will be able to easily tweak it to work much better. Its all springs and ball bearings. Each ball bearing is a detent for the different functions and sometimes they are not under enough spring pressure to make a good and positive detent and connection.

Again a warning. Lots of small parts under spring pressure. Make sure you have a good hold on everything so you don't lose any parts. Its even a good idea to disassemble in a box or under a towel to keep parts from shooting over into the neighbors yard never to be found again.
Once again, that is very good general advice. However, I examined this particular component thoroughly, and I could not find any effective way to fix or adjust it. Therefore, I cleaned it, applied dielectric grease, and reassembled it. However, it still would not work. If anyone finds a way to fix/adjust this switch, I hope they will post the information.

The rest of the components in this particular switch, and the switchgear on the right handlebar, are very nice. However, this particular component is designed in such a way that it is extremely difficult, or impossible to fix/adjust, and any such efforts which are successful probably wouldn't last very long.
