If the trim switch seems sensitive ..... thats a good indicator that the switch is faulty and ,in this instance it shouldnt be to hard to prove .
I think the point others are trying to make is that .... well imagine that the harness to that switch is worn thru some distance from the switch and is grounding which is the actual fault . By removing and replacing the switch you inadvertently move the harness and the fault disappears........untill things "return to battery " ( settle back into normal position ) wire grounds and your back where you started .
Its not just a money thing , more about making it home .
I know an enthusiastic trim isnt likely to bring you down ( unless it does it while crossing a bar ). Thusly it is important to prove the fault , especially on something you cant walk home from.
I have just watched my neibour replace most of the ignition components on his quad because the kill switch wire had worn thru under a cable tie and was shorting on the handle bar
