Killswitch and headlight switch question

1973 yamaha dt3. I have rewired and installed Vape on this bike. All circuits are working, but I have not connected the blue Vape wire to the black wire with a white stripe running to the switch. Vape instructions say to "splice" the blue wire to to the Black wire with a white stripe, like maybe you don't disconnect the black and white wire from the black wire to which the black and white wire is now connected, you just "splice" the blue wire into that circuit, I think that black wire is now out of the picture and you just directly connect the the blue wire to the black wire with a white stripe, but not sure.

DEET ( if I recall correctly) rewired my headlight/flasher switch.  The high beam does not come in it's ususal position, it does not come on until I slide the switch up toward the low beam position, then, with very  slight movement toward the low beam, the high beam cuts off, the low beam comes on when in the low beam position. Something is out of whack in there, but as I understand it, there are small springs and ball bearings in there, concerned that if I start taking it all apart I will wind up with a switch that doesn't do anything. Is it mess getting that switch back together, or best to just leave it alone?
