      bikerphil,

      Pics of the ign. switch....
      There. Right there!.

      If there's any reason why I keep logging in and reading every single thread/post/reply it's cause sometimes, hidden in plain sight, guru's like you put such jewels of wisdom/knowledge out there for any seekers to find/use.

      My usual reaction (this time as well...) is, just where did he find that??!

      How do he know all this stuff??!!

      Don't answer that Phil... I know it would be something along the lines of:

      "How is it that you do not?"

            It took me a while to dig that one out of it's grave, not my tech tip though. I can't even remember where I found it, lol.

              ign. switch.........P.S.

              I should put this bit of info in here about the switch.....there is a small white plastic piece that goes in last i think...I believe its for the fork lock....not sure. This piece has a small triangle shape on one side.

                    ign parts

                    Got it!!!!!!!!...........Looken at the fork lock mechanism area you will see a silver piston at the bottom of the opening. The piston is in a metal housing with a flat horizontal area above it. Using a flat screw driver push down on this piston housing while inserting the white plastic cam piece. And Bobs your uncel!!
