View Full Version : Ignition By-pass switch.

I know some have bypassed the ignition switch for a just in case circumstance.

So maybe someone can help me out here.

Recently I have been having some weird things happening that I am attributing to the ignition switch going bad.

I have read and printed out the by-pass procedure to install a separate switch on the bike in case the main one craps out.

My question is this. By putting this switch in does it give you everything you need or is it just allowing you to crank the bike and run it?

Do you get lights, dash, turn signals, brakes, and everything else that would normally come on with the ignition?

Many thanks in advance.

If your switch fails you will lose the dash lights along with the engine, the acc part of the switch will still work. When you install a bypass this is what you will get back. The acc part never goes out. I did the bypass on mine and put the switch under the seat that I hever bolt down. Sure enough my switch laid down on me while I was out of town. Good luck

Thanks for the info. I just want to make sure I have it installed for when the time comes.
