Clutch perch switch

Does anyone know where I can get a new switch for my clutch? I sort of broke the tab that keeps it in the perch.

unless you really like the clutch interlock feature or are doing a 100% restore, i would just by-pass it.

Do it right or don't bother doing it at all.

Just follow the wires till they come to a couple of plugs and just plug the wires together.

That will probably be the solution, its not like anyone else rides my bike, and I'm not dumb enough to need it really.

i think both wires are black and they connect into the main harness around the coils. take the tank off and it will make sense
i think it looks a bit better if you jump it under the tank rather than at the handle bars

Yeah I'd imagine I can trace it back to its origin and jump it.

It's in the line with the starter button. They both act on the ground for the starter solenoid. I'll just straight connect the black wire off the starter button to the solenoid, job done.

Mine is just floating loose behind the cowl. I think it's normally closed so you don't even need to bypass it. Just ignore. . .
