Clutch switch... what does it do?

[maverick1970]

I broke the little plastic piece for the switch that's on the clutch lever. See picture #7 / part #3YX-82917-01-00. Does anyone know what the switch does?

I've been able to super glue the little plastic button back onto the switch, but if worse comes to worse, I'll buy another one.

It won't let you start the bike in gear unless the clutch is pulled in.

With the switch broken, you'll have to put the bike in neutral to start it. No biggie.

Thanks Fred!!!!! I think I'll save my 8 bucks :thumbup: :rockon:

For 8 bucks I'd buy a new one. Think of everyone looking at your bike and noticing that your super-gluing pieces/parts. :eyebrow:

Hahaha... that's what my wife said. I'll probably get around to it but as for now the super glue works. Besides, you can't even tell.

I'd say spend the $0 and just cut the switch out and wire the circuit to be permanently closed. Just make sure you remember to pull the clutch in when you go to start the bike (if it's in gear). I did this when I swapped out my clutch lever assembly and haven't had any issues since.
