Isn't that the starter button you're pointing at? It is in the US.

I just put stuff straight into the tank with a string tied to it. Then I pull it out when I need it.

The OP is the Original Poster, the guy who started the thread. He started it 8 months ago and never responded. We don't know if he ever followed up on this.

Nothing from the OP in 8 months. I wonder if he did anything.

Now that IS crazy talk.

I suppose the ultimate solution would be to just buy a new motorcycle.

I agree. The contacts aren't carrying a lot of current and are unlikely to burn or corrode. I also thought disassembling a switch unit to service it would be overkill. If I ever removed it I would replace it rather than perform surgery on it.

Mine is a 2008 so it's the correct part for it. Thanks.

There are a few threads in which this problem appears but I found it difficult to search I think because of the wording. The symptom is the bike will only start in neutral. Trying to start in any gear with the side stand up and clutch lever depressed does nothing. No click, no turnover, just...

I'm convinced. Consider it sold. I'll bring cash out to you maybe Tuesday or Wednesday (no rain). Are you available during the day? May I install it at your place so I can try it out on the ride home? It'll be good to see you again. I still remember trying out your V-Stream before I bought one.

Harald- I believe the V-Stream is polycarbonate and the Cee Bailey is acrylic. Is that correct? I have had V-Streams on both my FJRs and prefer the indestructibilty of the polycarbonate. But for $100 and a ride out to PA I'm tempted by the CB+4+4. I've always wanted to try the barn door. If...

Of course the solution to this is to just stop using fuel.

It was a fluke. I rode today on an errand 60 minutes each direction. I had the heated grips on full. The panel meter is clearly wired after the ignition switch and apparently it's behind the heated grips as well because turning on the grips drops the panel meter by 0.8V. When I returned I...

Maybe this was some kind of fluke. Today I measured the battery voltage with a DVM directly to be 13.3V. The panel meter indicated 12.8V. I started it 4 times in rapid succession and watched both meters dip below 11V. On the 4th try I had to start WOT so I let it burn fuel for a while and...

If you think I am soliciting your opinion on whether I should use a battery tender of any kind or under any condition or if you think I am seeking your advice on what kind of battery I should have or when I should replace it, you have misread the thread title and should just hit the back button...

Same here. Simple is usually best.

Yes you are. But here is a photo of the connector and roughly it's position in front of the battery compartment that ScooterG posted. And here is a YouTube video posted by Two Wheeled Obsession giving the whole run down.

Do you have new boots with bigger, stiffer toes? I just adjusted my shift lever position to accommodate bigger toes on some new boots. It could interfere with the brake pedal also. Did you ever take the brake pedal off? It can be installed in a number of positions and if it's up too high, your...

Always ride with a young, strong passenger.
