Ignition Switch

So if you are going to be out and about, at some point are going to be out of view of your bike. Well the way the bike comes you may not feel comfortable considering that it doesn't even have an ignition switch.....that's right no ignition switch! Just jump on, pull in the clutch and push the start button and you are off and riding. So that's where Sicass racing comes in as they sell a plug-n-play ignition switch which plugs right in to your wiring harness.

You can mount the switch one of two ways, either use the mount for a nonexistent switch which comes on the bike as I did.

Or this mount which can be bolted to the forks or some other suitable location.
Picture
The wiring harness is located behind the head light assembly so you will need to remove the four screws which hold on the fender and one up top below the dash cluster. This will allow you to drop the fender/light assemble out of the way so you can plug in the harness.

Four fender bolts

Top bolt below the gauge cluster which will need to be removed as well.

Here is the harness all plugged up and ready for use. I now have a little piece of mind when I walk away from the bike.
