Stop start switch

[Bigtrks]

I got my new board and switches in the mail today and I put them on well almost they come with a little wire one and plugs into the board the other end steps back in to the mount I can’t get the old one out of the mount. any ideas but I guess my biggest question is what the hell is it? Eventually, I’ll get the old one out if I have to wait till the Fourth of July and get an M 80 to put in there.

I believe you will need a #50 allen wrench to loosen the tiny azz set screw that is holding in the brake magnet? Someone will correct me if I am mistaken.

I didn’t see a set screw maybe I didn’t take it apart far enough I put a wrap of tape around it, so the front half didn’t fall off and just took off the back side with the buttons

I didn't find the set screw until the 3rd time I had mine apart.

I only took out the two screws so let’s switch side would fall off do I need to pull the front half away from the bars to see this screw??

That wire goes to the brake sensor. The magnet is in the brake lever. The set screw is located just below the sensor. When you put the new sensor in, turn the key on, then pull the brake lever until you feel pressure. Slide the sensor in until the brake lights come on. Then tighten the set screw.

Do the old sensors have issues ? Or is just a good idea to change it ??I will either way just trying to soak up bd hiccups lol

They usually don't go bad, but the solder joints sometimes break on the original boards, and the wires sometimes get pinched which cause them to quit working.

Your new brd will have a connector to attach the brake sensor. They have moved away from the soldered connection so if you install the new switch you really have no choice but to change it. Keep the brd you are taking out if the new one does not fix your issue. You never know, it could come in handy in the future.

I will put them both out switch actually have anything to do with it when it doesn’t start? That would seem weird to me

Sorry brake wire

Sorry about all my messed up text. I am a truck driver and my headset and voice texting just don’t go together.

OK I had the day off so I put the new brakes with Jenn

OK I had the day off I put the new BRD and the brake thing in. And it didn’t stop the clicking instead of starting when I push the button it work sometimes, so what direction do I go now? Started with the slam switch every time lol.

I think someone has tried this fixed before because that brake wire wasn’t solder to the ARB. It was a fitting.

If I'm not mistaken, you have started different threads for the same issue (intermittent start from the control switch). I can't sort that out but give this a try with the bike in neutral. First , pull the green wire off the starter solenoid. Second , put a meter to ground on the connector. Third, turn the key on and hit run then start. You should get 12vdc on the green wire along with hearing the click from the Compression Releases. Repeat a bunch of times because you have an intermittent problem. When it fails I suspect you will hear the click from the CR's but not get the 12 vdc on the wire. If you do it 10 times and always get the 12vdc and the click, your issue is most likely with the Solenoid.
If you get the intermittent failure (no 12vdc ) your issue is with the EHC and not the Solenoid. If this is the case pull the connectors off the EHC looking for a loose or backed out wire then replace the Dielectric grease and put it all back together.
Come back with your findings and avoid starting new threads because it makes it difficult to help you.

Thank you I know my post sucks. Please bear with me.

If the EHC is that thing under the seat with the little red light on it I was told it was brand new but I don’t believe everything I hear

If it ends up being the solenoid can you change or rebuild it on the bike without removing starter ???
