Kick Start Switch

I have a 1991 z750. Shaft drive. On this model the kick start switch does not cut out the engine but just flashes a warning on the clocks next to the fuel level.

So it's not serious, but annoying to have this thing flashing at me all the time.

The switch is a sealed unit and cannot be opened, the wire going into it is crimped and terminates under the plastic seal that has been poured in.

Can I replace the switch with one from another model, the 550 for example? 've had the bike since 1993 and want to keep it forever in as near original condition as I can, so I'm not keen to cut and join the wire to disable the switch, even though it has no cut out function.

unplug the bulb from the socket and save it.bj

First off I think you mean KICK STAND switch and yes that warning light is annoying just hop down to your local dealer and order one, the one on my GPZ1100 took a dump and i have one ordered for it.

Kick Stand switch, yes indeed, I had a brain fart.

Good news - lashings of WD40, left overnight and a few judicious taps with a hammer and the switch has freed itself. Hooray! first time in years I have a dashboard that doesn't blink!
