It would be the jumpers, that barrel is just the tumblers for the key that allows you to rotate the switch or not. No electrics in there. -Kyle On Thu, Sep 1, 2016 at 3:07 PM, Jared Clifton wrote: > It works fine most of the time. I've just noticed that occasionally,

This is great Kyle! Thank you! I'll take the switch out and have a look. Hopefully it's the jumpers you describe and not something in the actual barrel itself. -Jared On Thursday, September 1, 2016 at 12:22:05 PM UTC-7, Kyle Munz wrote: > > I took pics when I cleaned and repaired the ignition

The switch is easy enough to test with a multimeter once you have it off the bike. I would suggest that before disassembling it. -Kyle On Thu, Sep 1, 2016 at 2:29 PM, Jared Clifton wrote: > This is great Kyle! Thank you! I'll take the switch out and have a look. >

I took pics when I cleaned and repaired the ignition switch on my 700S, the same procedure should work for your 650. Another touch piece to test on the 650 is where the harness plugs into the back of the fuse block. Make sure those are cleaned and plugged in snugly.

It works fine most of the time. I've just noticed that occasionally, while running at speed, the taillight warning light comes on and my taillight goes out. If I turn the key just slightly to the right (very slightly), the lights come back on. But, a couple of times when I've done that the bike

[Nighthawk Lovers] Ignition switch

2016-09-01 Thread Jared Clifton
I have a 1983 Nighthawk 650SC. I believe I am having some issues with the ignition switch. Occasionally, the tail lights go out while riding. I figured out that if I jiggle the key in the switch a bit, they come back on. However, more recently when I tried that, the bike shut down completely.
