Dirty Kill Switch Ends Ride

I'll post the ride pictures in another post, but I just learned that a dirty kill switch could shut down your bike.  I was getting hard FI lights, and bike quit on my recent Lake Superior adventure.  I rode through 3 days of rain at the beginning, and two days later the problem began. My 6th gen shows 61,500 miles and is a 2002 model.  I was able to restart the bike when the problem originally presented itself, so I kept riding.  I gave up when it died 6 times within 30 minutes inside of a small town in Minnesota.  I didn't have the time or electrical talent to sort this out, so my shop took care of me.  They disassembled and cleaned the switch, and that was the end of it.
