S3 ignition switch. I turned the key on and nothing happens. I turn the key off and on a couple of times and finally get juice. Could it be just a worn out ignition switch? Thanks in advance for any help. | ||

Sounds like the ignition switch is fried. There are several posts addressing this issue so run a search to see what pops up. I went the dealer route and got a HD Dyna switch with the same key code as my Buell key. My dealer did offer a replacement Buell set up but the cost was more. The HD Dyna part needed the harness modified to fit the Buell connector but if you are handy with a solder gun it was an easy project. My new switch works great, I can still use my Buell key, and all the issues I was having have been solved. Good Luck! HARFEND | ||

I carefully took mine apart and cleaned the contacts. Put it back together and added a relay to take the high current out of the ignition switch. That was over 5 years ago and no problems since... | ||

"take the high current out of the ignition switch. " I've done the same. Starter solenoid current goes through switch. Needs to go though something that can take the current, and be easily and cheaply replaced if it burns out. |
