Ignition Switch

(1/2) > >>

Maxcaddy (Nighthawk):

I find my ignition switch accepts the key and turns and I can hear the contacts moving at the bottom, but its not making an electrical path. 

Most likely cause is that it's sat for a few years and the contacts have got damp and corroded away.

Looking at the switch the plastic housing for the contact at the bottom is held on by 3 plastic tags on the circumference of the lock, and I could possibly prise off the end.

If I do that, is the bottom 'contact' part available as spare ?, or is the whole lock fubar ?

These are notorious for rotting once the seals have degraded.

You are better of buying a replacement from David Silver (if you want a Honda part) or Wemoto (for pattern)

The last thing you need is the ignition switch failing when you are out riding (trust me...)

Spitfire:
Yes I'll go with Steve on that one, I can remember having to use the silver paper ball to get me home once !

Thanks, I suspected as much  :(

By Wemoto I guess we're talking about M&P, Buster etc as that was who I was going to go with.

However Busters list the same part number (Product Code: IGS735725) for the CB650Z as they do for the CB650SCC, although the SCC also has the steering lock incorporated, is that right ?
