Ignition Switch

[Jim Bilenda]

I have been reading about the problems with ignition switches on the Rockets. I ride a 1998 Adventurer and am having problem with my switch. I must jiggle it to make contact. My question is: if the switch loses power while in motion, will the wheels lock up? I want to ride it to the shop to get it fixed but that is about 15 miles. If it dies and keeps rolling freely, I can deal with it. Thanks guys

if the ign sw fails the engine will stop running. what you do is pull in your clutch and the bike will coast. what would be the most dangerous is in a tight corner at low speeds if the eng shuts off you fall over. make as big of a turn thats possible

Thanks Turbo. I just wanted to make sure I'd have time to pull the clutch in before it locks up. I appreciate your reply
