Hello everyone,
My bikes traction control button is in bad shape as can be seen below. It was like this when I bought the bike as I anticipated that I should be able to fix it easily. I searched the internet for a replacement but couldn't find it as OEM part.
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Probably need to replace the button if possible... The next thing I might suggest is to consider doing what I did and add a three button (motorcycle) momentary switch to your bars and wire it in to the inside of the dash computer. There are post on how to do this. Later today I can dig up my old photos and post. Not only are your dash buttons now at your finger tips, you never "need" to touch your dash again. The buttons cant / wont wear out. "If" you wear out the new three button switch this is easy to replace and always new (3 button) options on the market in the future.
I installed mine ten years ago... I think I have touched my dash buttons maybe two times in ten years. I only use the handle bar buttons. The dash buttons still work as the factory intended.

Just a thought, I wonder why way more people dont do this mod ?

Nice project mate! I'd like to see those photos if you still have them!
It's a bit to invasive for my taste and I wouldn't trust myself to undertake something like this! I think I would either try to replace the button or the casing if I can't figure a way to restore it.

Just posted a few more for you and reference... It makes it much more convenient not to have to reach over the dash to touch the dash buttons.

The liquid tape method is probably what I would try.

The trip reset button on mine often doesn’t work worth crap, often have to press it about 10 times in order to get it to work, sometimes it works fine.
