URGENT broken down on the road

[BuffaloR3]

Here's what it looked like, I didn't experiment, worked right off the bat. Might have wrong ends and no fuse protection at all for all I know, but it worked. I made it to a buddys house and will rig up something more stable. Hopefully some dealer along the way will have a switch in stock.

A big thank you to everyone here, really helped me out in a tight jam. Someone should file this for safe keeping.

Everytime i checked for my sons 05 the ignition switch was on back order you might consider both (one for seat unlock and ignition or you gonna have to carry 2 keys no big deal for him )once again the captains from afar come through !

I just printed out Speedy's posting and BuffaloR3's picture to put in my tool kit. Looks much easier than jumping at the ignition switch plug. Thanks Speedy !

Can you PM me a copy of that if it's not too much of a hassle mate.

Glad all is well.

I copied the picture and Speedy's instructions into Dropbox so I will have it on my iPhone in case this happens to me. Thanks.

Glad it worked out, we must be neighbors, I'm in Alabama, near Basom, where you?

BuffaloR3,

If you can't find a new switch en route, get a simple toggle switch and wire it into the jumpers and tie wrap it where it is accessible. That way you can stop without taking off the seat and pulling the jumpers.

I am going to make a little harness for my bike to do just this to throw in my tool kit.

Safe riding

I was already carrying a pre-wired toggle switch. With your "easy hotwire" system I'll be back on the road in no time. I installed the eastern beaver kit several years ago but the bike did about 16,000 miles in Arizona before I got it, so the ignition switch may be a bit fragile. I don't have to worry about it now. Thanks again !
