It's also why I bought a SET of switches, in case we find that the kill switch is the unruly child here , lol! I think I found that suspect after you had retired for the eve.  |

I did ! There was nothing. That prompted me to check the green/white one |

One thing that does keep entering my mind as I try to comprehend this circuit is, that green/white wire coming from the kill switch. I know I got a continuity reading from it but , isn't it the voltage to the start switch ? I don't get voltage from it, in either of its positions  |

Well taken, richardv ! And "Momentary", that's the word I was looking for! Thanks! Yes, Alleyoop , but I got an erratic reading when I disconnected and tested that first switch with my meter so,I think it's bad. I haven't tried the other yet. I'll have to give it a go when I get back later. |

I ordered a set of switches for $10, WOW! Can't hurt to have spares around, eh ? After hooking up the switch above and activating it, nothing happened, no solenoid. I do have another toggle that springs back to what I believe is called "Normally open" when let go, I think. There is no continuity until I press the switch. The start button only needs to be active while starting, yes? Thus, that one will do better anyway? Today, Wednesday, I probably will be needing to go do a big favor for my sister and return in the eve, hopefully. You can bet, I'll check in |

LOL! Your way is so sensible! Brute force and backlashing my hand into the handlebars when they let go, worked!

This may seem silly but, how the heck does one release the wires from the connector without mangling it? I've put a precision screwdriver in from every angle with quite some forceand am afraid to ruin it.

I wonder if I need to bend those tangs forward in the switch?

Ok so, she's cleaned up and back on the bike. When I ground the green/white wire to the frame, it does activate the solenoid but using the switch alone will not activate it. I checked the red/yellow wire for continuity to the harness by the solenoid and continuity is good.So, the switch is culprit and it didn't fix? Here is a cross section pic of the switch, for the curious.  |
