[Pddain]

Need to replace the ignition switch. Any info on how to do it.

Take head bolts off 1st, then the frame bolt. Flip the housing, unplug switch. Then take a screwdriver and flatten locking washer. Then take a wrench unscrew nut off switch. Pull switch out.

Make sure you put the fiber washers back between the coil cover and the head. Lots of red loctite too.

 

[awg]

Well.....there you go!

 

[Pddain]

Thank you. Will solve this problem first. Then tackle the deceleration popping. Got the new seat today and new turn signal lenses previous owner was a bit tough on the bike.

You can buy a switch with the same connectors from wild steed works or Derrick and Donna big dog parts king

Thanks. Yea I got my seat and the switch from Derrick and Donna. I need replace the right hand turn signal control but the decel popping is my next target.

 

[Mr. Wright]

The decel popping can be several things. It may be as simple as adjusting the carb, or cleaning the air filter. A bad exhaust gasket, or a crack in the exhaust pipe. Are the baffles still in the pipes? And what exhaust are you running?

Vance and Hines. 2:2. Below is a pic of the inside of the pipe And the air cleaner. Baffles are there. Plan to replace them to quiet the exhaust just a bit. I have lost enough hearing to jet engines, bikes and guns. 2nd pic shows dragging damage to the lower tip.

Got the new switch in yesterday works like a charm. Thanks for the guidance.

The exhaust bolts were out of torque. I also readjusted the carb per the instructions in another thread and the problem is gone. Now to the right hand switches and new baffles.
