Yeah, the 650s have an issue with that fuseblock. The problem is the female
connectors loosen over time and leave a gap between the contacts (metal
bars) in the fuse block. This can lead to arcing or grime buildup which
adds resistance and ultimately generates heat which melts the plastic.

Kyle, just wanted to say thanks again. Fortunately it was not the ignition
switch, but the plug that goes into the fuse panel. I'm afraid the bolts that
hold the ignition switch in place are stripped and impossible to remove cleanly.
I cleaned the contact with some electrical cleaner and it star
Awesome, thank you for the quick response Kyle!

I'm curious, why did you hotwire the switch instead of push-starting the
motorcycle? When my ignition switch went bad, I avoided being stranded by
getting the bike moving, putting it in first gear, and releasing the
clutch. Sometimes it didn't work on the first try, but it was definitely

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.

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
The switch is easy enough to test with a multimeter once you have it off
the bike. I would suggest that before disassembling it.

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.

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.

Right. It almost has to be that switch. Gage lights would be on if fuse is
not rusted.

I would suspect the ignition switch - but - even if that isn't it - if
the key can be removed in any position, that isn't good - perhaps it
should be replaced anyway.

The ignition switch sounds like its rigged up wrong. on my 82 750 the front
blinkers are on when the bike is running the rears only when the blinkers are
in use. so your lights sound ri
It sound to me like he rigged it up. It should turn off with the key only, and
all lights should come on with the headlight going out when you press the
starter button.

I'm not 100% certain on the 550, but my 650 was completely missing its
switch when I bought it, I found one in a salvage yard for a Magna and it
worked perfectly. As long as the bolts and the plugs are the same you should
be ok.

There is no other version that I know of. It is, however, the same switch
used in the 83-85 650 Nighthawk and they do come up for sale on ebay once in
a while. I think I saw one quite recently.
