Bike repair take #2

Bike repair take #2: It's quite tricky to weld the engine switch properly, this time besides welding it I'll prepare a plan B (just in case :-)). The problem is that the switch is not original and the Honda cables are too thick for the mounted KTM switch.
Got everything welded and function tested before putting the screws on to fix the switch. Guess what, once the switch was put back into place it stopped working ... all cables where still on place, it looks like the switch has something broken inside and is complete garbage. Good thing I had a plan B in place so, no need to start all over again. Just put everything together and do another test ride with Ricardo who spent the day here with me instead of enjoying Kyrgyzstan. Thanks Ricardo! I really appreciated that.
During this ride I noticed that something was wrong with the fuel pump, even though the tank was full and the engine was only idling, the pump was working at full speed as if the fuel was running out. This bike seams to be a never ending story...
This was end of the road, the soil was covered with thin layer of sticky mud that let us drift all over the place and had almost no traction.
Besides the annoying noise of the fuel pump the test was ok but when I checked the radiator, another 200 ml liquid were missing.
