    neutral light switch

    I ordered a new switch as I believe mine went out. Does anyone know if the plunger at the bottom is tensioned by that internal spring? I can loosely push the bottom plunger up as there isn’t any pressure on it. Or is there a small detent on the shift drum that slips up into the plunger? When I...

    Neutral switch lead wire screw?

    Ok good deal. I feel like it’d make sense to be spring tension but not sure either. I undid the switch from the motor and screwed in the wire. I had to more or less lightly slam it against a ground spot in the engine for it to come on. I’ll order another and see. Weird how it just randomly...

    Neutral switch lead wire screw?

    Questions for those who may know. Is that little brass plunger on the end spring loaded with tension? My neutral light stopped worked. Checked the wiring by grounding and the light comes on. My plunger can rattle up and down. There’s no tension.

    Original Starter Button Question..

    good deal mate. I'll give this a test and see what I come across. I do have quite a bit of things wired up to the battery so it could be an underlying cause from a component doing a stray draw.

    Thank you both. Hallelujah lol still gotta figure out why it was totally dead but this is good news. Cheers 🍻

    Original Starter Button Question..

    I’m having an odd issue I didn’t realize until now. I went away on a trip for 3 weeks. Came back and the bike was totally dead. I did some tests and I have battery voltage at the red wire on the ignition switch even in the off position. This red wire runs from the ignition switch to the cloth...

    Right on man, sounds like you have a fun new project underway! I am ready for spring for sure...The CDI kit was pretty easy to install if you haven't done one yet. Took me a few hours but he has some good instructions plus all the content on here for reference too.

    Thanks man! I am up in Bellingham...The front forks received a lowering kit from Hughs. I think it was the 35mm kit and then did a bit stiffer progressive spring. I wanted the bike relatively bare but still functional. It has E-start still, Hughs CDI kit, VM34's, etc...Haven't even ridden it...

    Original Starter Button Question..

    Yes, there is a relay in the kit if you go the route of electric start. I asked Hugh as well about this and he just said to use a good switched 12v+ for the ignition system. There is a single white wire coming from the relay which is the power wire. I had it plugged into a brown harness wire...

    Original Starter Button Question..

    EDIT: Got it figured out. I had my power wire from the CDI relay to constant switched power. Plugged it into my red/white switched off wire and all good now 👌

    Original Starter Button Question..

    My stop switch is brown and red/white. Not two red/white wires. If I put one of the wire harness red/white wires to the coil I don’t get spark in the run position. But if I turn it to off it sparks. When it’s in the run position it is getting 12v, off it zero’s out. So how in the heck can I...

    Original Starter Button Question..

    Ok thanks for clarifying this. So is it ok then to run one of the R/W wires to my new ignition coil power wire to disconnect power from it when I turn the switch to “off”? Thanks again!

    Original Starter Button Question..

    One more question 😏 Ok, I am running Hugh’s CDI kit. Comes with a new ignition coil and connections but I AM using the stock starter button switch with the engine run/off rocker switch. My current problem is I am still getting spark even on the “OFF” position. I noticed that with the ignition...
