A bit of oil will come out, but you don't need the drain the bike. Just put it up on the centerstand, and change the switch.

I would think that someone here has way too many of those things laying around and could hook you up for a lot less than $30.

BA80 (aka Greg) is implying that he probably has one and could sell you one for less than anyone else. He is a parts horder so he might cry a bit when he mails it but he will get over it eventually.Originally posted by MarkD View PostNo oil...time to seek out a deal on a switch==Thanks again, you guys are good.--M.Nathan

Greg, do you need a stock coil?(for Doc)Originally posted by BA80 View PostThanks Nate, now I got go out in that garage and find one. I've been looking for a ignition coil for Doc's bike for 3 days. I KNOW I ha 1 good one out there somewhere.
I swapped out my stockers on the SG with the VF coils, so I know I have one. (the other one is toast)
I can throw it in a 'if it fits, it ships' box. (USPS)Hi, my name is George & I'm a twisty addict!

Actually Doc has a set coming from andreas but if you want to give it up I'll take it. I'm pretty sure there's a dead one on the E and besides, if I ever find this other one it'll make a set.

All fixed. Was a faulty neutral switch. Got one from Andreas, green light is a go. Seems that you test with ohm-meter, shove one connecter up the switch's gigi where the screw goes in, touch one to the push-in part of the switch, and needle should jump up. All's well!79 F
