    Clutch safety switch??

When I first got my bike, you could hold in the clutch and you could start the bike. Now, the only way it will start is if it's in neutral. Any advise would be great. Be...

    Side Stand Switch Question

    I have a 1990 VMax and when I start it up with the Side Stand down, Clutch pulled in, in Neutral. It will stall if I let the Clutch out even though I'm still in Neutral? But if I pull the Side Stand up and put it in gear everything is fine! Shouldn't this bike idle in Neutral with the side...

    Oil Pressure switch

    Does anyone know of an automotive type oil pressure switch that is the same thread size and doesn't protrude out very far to screw into the oil pressure test plug. If I could find something compact enough I would use that to install an oil pressure light. thanks

    How To: Recondition the Clutch-side Switch Pod

    So I guess it was inevitable that I'd be writing this one up :rofl_200:. But in trying to hunt down the gremlin that's screwing with my taillight mod, I desperately cracked the switch pod apart hoping to find the critter lurking in there. Sad to say, it wasn't, :damn angry: but not a total...

    Throttle & Clutch side switch cleaning

    Attached are three PDF's that show VENTURE handle bar switches being disassembled and cleaned. Why three you ask, the clutch side I am fairly sure is the same as the Venture. The throttle side I am not sure about. It might resemble the 86-93 switch with the cruise control button in it. I think...

    Vboost toggle switch

    So I bought a 93 Max and when I asked the guy about the toggle switch on the throttle holder he told me that 93 was the first year to put that toggle switch in. I knew he was telling a story, or as I found out later, was told that. So I figured, by the miles and the guy having the bike for 2...
