Ok so i leave work last night and bike starts fine. I pull in the drive and turn bike off to open gurage door.. Put key in the ignition and only the odomitor lights up. No asesories.. You know when you turn the key ti ignition and it should start? Whell thoes lights dont come on. I took the key ignition switch out of it and the epoxey that seals the wires to the back ( i asume for water proof ) Looked a little dark like it had burnd or got hot.. Is this somthing I can get from Harley or is there some one els I can get one from.. Im starting there cuz I checked all the fuzes and nothing seems to be a miss.. OH the joys of owning a Buell.... Any one have this prob? | ||

http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/16033.html Its a 3 wire switch for a Dyna,OEM Buell switch is over $100. Only down side is it won't be key matched. Also the asb switch you will have to swap the red with black tracer with the red with white tracer wires to keep the ign sequence. | ||

Buy a marine type toogle switch and mount it out of sight. | ||

Cool!! You guys sure know your stuff.. Im curious about the toogle switch.. Are you saying that I can just buypass the whole ignition switch all together? | ||

Just cut the wires off the back of the switch. Three wires, power wire on one side , other two on the other side. This way your plug-in is still intack and when you ever want to get a new switch, just unplug the toogle and plug in the new switch. | ||

Thats super cool man!!! Im guessing that I can get that switch at auto parts store? I still want a new ignition but its gonna take a couple of days to get one.. | ||

For a good quality Marine switch you'll need to go to a boating chandlery. Marine implies weather proof,unlike conventional switches which rust. Don't forget to disconnect the battery first. | ||

My X1 did the same thing. I drilled apart my switch and the contact for the ignition part was slightly melted into the plastic. I put a replacement switch in from Al @ asb and soldered the original plug to the new switch. It has worked fine since then. It's up to you, but I held onto my old switch and am trying to find one that is missing the key so I can steal the back plastic and fix my original to get back to one key. | ||

Bottom line is if contacts are dirty or not making good contact will arc like a welder dose which makes heat and plastic parts will MELT !!! | ||

try a thread search for ignition switch jumper. it will let you hot wire your bike to get her home when your key switch goes TU. | ||

The ignition switch melts because the current for the starter solenoid runs through it. My switch contacts were so badly fried that the solenoid wouldn't send the plunger into the contacts. I ran the wires through a relay activated by the ignition switch, and it works fine. The fried contacts still work well enough to operate the relay, and if the solenoid current fries the relay (it hasn't yet) well, relays are cheap. | ||
