Damn it, just got the S3T, has been starting and running fine. The last thing I did was I noticed the headlight was cockeyed so I straightened it a bit. Did I mess up wires by the ignition switch? All wires by clutch and kickstand switch look good. The odometer is on though (Message edited by bsanorton on June 05, 2022) | ||

The turn signals work, horn works, taillight works. Did I disturb something behind the headlight in the headlight/ignition circuit? | ||

Round/Tubular key right? ~ Check the starter relay and connections. ~ Short together the two side-stand switch wires, at the connector. It may be bad. (All mine are shorted together at the connector.) ~ Try starting in neutral. If that works, the clutch or neutral switch are bad. ~ Three wire connector for ignition switch, directly behind the headlight. So, yes you could have disturbed it, or the switch/switch wires just went bad. They do. I have replaced two on my S3s so far. ~ Harley-Davidson replacement is $150.00+, but at least you get the same key code as your current fork lock and bags. ~ After market replacement is $28.00 at JP Cycles. ~ Use a multimeter to test. Recall connections are: RED - From battery. Red/White - Off/lights on. Red/Black - Lights & Ignition on. ~ When the key is turned all the way clockwise, all three terminals are connected together. ~ Reassemble connectors, after cleaning with electrical contact cleaner, coating with White Lithium Grease. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/714528.html?1373833749 http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/709405.html?1365381918 http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/384 2/760105.html?1428555843 http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/578059.html?1279025420 http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/414671.html?1229294629 Y0608.K - X1 Ignition + forks + seat 71421-90B Y0610.D - Dyna / M2 Ignition + fork Lock Combo 71441-94 - Ignition Switch only NOTE: The R/W and R/B wires are swapped on this replacement switch; https://www.jpcycles.com/product/3700020/twin-powe r-custom-round-key-ignition-switch | ||

Thank you | ||

It was the switch. After pulling off the bodywork and cleaning up the grounds, checking switches I went back to the front of the bike and took my screwdriver, laid it across all the male terminals in the connector and all was powered up. Now who has a spare barrel switch with the flat connector? And some of those plastic headlight adjusters? I mangled the plastic of the kickstand switch when trying to get it out for testing. It's jammed under the oil tank, is that where it should be?   (Message edited by bsanorton on June 11, 2022) | ||

~ D'oh! 71441-94 - Ignition Switch is for a flat key!!! Apologies. ~ Very small chance, likely years, that connector could put a hole in the oil tank. Peronaly I would move it. ~ I bought a replacement ignition switch and soldered the old flat connector wires to it. Can you solder? | ||

Thanks, I will try to move that connector for the kickstand switch. Having a hard time moving it. I think I will do what you suggest. I'm decent at soldering, but have a electronics guy in the neighborhood that can do it for me. | ||

Well, I was able to move the connector a bit and it is falling apart. Can I tie this off somewhere higher? Looks like it goes right into a harness but can't get to it. |
