Title: Need assitance! Eeek!
Post by: snapper on September 28, 2003, 10:34:49 AM
Last Monday I dropped my bike and broke the clutch lever.  Thursday I was able to pick up a new one.  I installed teh new lever... only thing was when I was removing the damaged one I broke the nub off what I would guess is the switch to make you start the bike with the clutch is.  As I said to a fiend... SEE I NEEDED my MANUAL!!!  D'oh!!!  (I can't locate it and that too is pissing me off.   :x   )

Anyway... so I put the lever on and put thogether that swtich assmebly- to just see what happens.  Nutting.. so I take the swtich assembly apart thinking I can test it manually.  Make the metal connectors touch (or not touch) and try and start it.  Still nothing.   :x

Any thoughts.  What am I missing?  I miss my manual!!!!   :cry:

Thanks!!!

take the remains of the switch off the plugs. get a paper clip or piece of wire and jumper across the the two connectors. Or if you aren't worried about it, cut them off and just twist the wire together.
