Horn stopped working

[pross]

Hi ladies and gents.
Just a little info if some have had or have  this problem
When I go out I do the normal checks tyres and pressures indicators dipped beam horn etc.
When I tried the horn failure so I did the normal checks fuse horn crimps could not se a problem last year I fitted PIAA horns so I dug out the original and tried that still nothing.
So a quick phone call to Cradley Heath kawasaki and a chat with one of the engineers he advised me because of infrequent use you get a build up of crud on the contact on the bars which stops the positive earthing out when the horn is pressed making the circuit ( I think that's what he said  ).
He told me to spray WD40 into the button and keep pressing and low and behold a working horn again a cheap and happy fix    .
So folks go down this route first if it happens to you

Just for a a bit of trivia...and without cheating and using Google, does anyone know why it is called WD40?

The WD is for water dispersal and the 40 stands for the 40th formula tested. If I remember correctly it was formulated on behalf of NASA.
