general consensus is the switch is toast, needs replaced.
hoped for correct steering lock that protrudes out of the bottom
but all i can find is emgo ignition switch kawasaki 40-80610 but steering lock protrudes from the side

You probably only need this portion of the switch:

are you putting your probes on the wires of the switch or are you probing the solder points on the switch?

Someone else may know of a source, but not that I know of.
It was removed from a switch listed several years ago on ebay.  There's not much available to choose from now, but that can change in a day.

Looks close to yours, only the connector is differing. De-solder and re-solder your connector or use the internal parts only.
