Clutch Switch

[Lester56]

So....it's been a few years since I took my '82 apart. I'm trying to get it to start now, and I have this rogue plunger switch. I "think" it's a clutch switch but I've replaced my left and right control boxes (starter, lights, etc) with after market items and I don't see where this plunger switch goes.  I know the circuit should allow the starter to 'go' if the tranny is in neutral and the side stand is up.

My Question is: Do any of you have a picture of where this devil goes?  I'll load up a bunch of pictures and share my project.

P.S. I've sawed off the entire back frame :D

From what you describe it does sound like a starter switch off the clutch. The other "go" condition for the starter is when the clutch lever is pulled in. If you don't need/want that safety over-ride, then you should be able to just  bypass the switch.

Both the side stand switch and the clutch switch were disabled on my bike by the PO.

I fund my old lever assembly and saw where the switch went. I ordered a replacement part from eBay. My unit's thread pattern is ripped out.
