My right turn signal switch is very hard to move and will get stuck when the signal kicks on. Is there a way to take the handle bar bracket apart? I took a look at it and don't think its possible. I want to open it up and see whats causing the issue.

two phillips screws on the bottom ?
I was able to take a peak through a repair manual, when I was looking at at the bottom of the handle car switch I thought only 1 bolt held it on. I thought that second bolt held the choke cable in. I will give it a try tomorrow.
Got it apart, can't believe it was that simple. Anyways There was a little piece of brass that acts as a plate to give the spring tension on the turn signal switch. This piece had become bent from the force of the spring I was able to bend it into shape. I also added a bigger washer on the bolt that holds the switch. Everything is working fine now.
spray a little contact cleaner (or WD-40) in there occasionally to push the water out. it won't lube it much, but getting the water out helps. :)
cool, it works again :D
