The first step in bypassing your motorcycle ignition switch is to replace the ignition switch. You will also need to remove the ground wire and kill the exposed wires. Once you have done this, you can replace the wiring. If you have an older motorcycle, you can replace the wiring yourself. The process is easy and can be completed without the help of a mechanic.
Replace the ignition switch
If your motorcycle has a faulty ignition switch, you should consider getting it replaced. A new switch usually costs between $185 and $230. Motorcycles typically have an identifying code on the ignition cylinder that identifies the bike. If your motorcycle doesn’t have an identifying code, you can get a new key made for it. However, this can take a few days.
Before replacing your switch, you should check other components of your motorcycle’s ignition system. These components are critical and can cause serious issues if any one of them breaks down. The most crucial parts of your motorcycle’s ignition system are the trigger coil, black box, and source coil. These components all receive electricity from the battery. If any of these components are broken, you should replace them.
Disconnect the ground
If you are unable to start your motorcycle, the key switch is to blame. Luckily, there is an easy way to bypass this malfunctioning ignition switch. First, you need to disconnect the ground from your motorcycle. You can find this wire in your wiring harness. This wire is usually connected to the ignition. Once you have disconnected it, you can pull out the ignition switch.
The first step is to disconnect the ground from the two wires that connect to the ignition module and spark coil. Then, connect the other end of the wire to the black wire from the ignition module. You must also unplug the white/yellow wire. You will need to disconnect the ground from these wires so that they do not connect to the motorcycle’s electrical system.
Kill the wires
The first step in bypassing the motorcycle ignition switch is to isolate the spark coils from the ignition system. The spark coils are usually fused with 12V DC from the battery. Then, disconnect the two wires that are connected to the ignition module and spark coil. Once disconnected, turn off the ignition and remove the battery.
Next, you need to isolate the ignition coil from the rest of the wiring. To do this, you need to locate the connector that connects the forward right hand harness to the backbone harness. It should have a red wire attached. You can use an inline splice to extend the wire or wrap it with electrical tape to protect it.
Replace exposed wires
If you’ve ever tried to bypass the motorcycle ignition switch, you know that the process can be a hassle. This is because the wires are separated from the rest of the wiring bundle. To avoid this problem, it is essential to replace exposed wires before attempting to bypass the switch. If you’ve discovered that your motorcycle has exposed wires, replace them with heat shrink tubing, butt connectors, and slip-on wire looms. You can also wrap them with electrical tape.
You can easily replace exposed wires by following these steps. You’ll need a flathead screwdriver. Start by locating the ignition switch and its release pin. Insert the screwdriver into the hole and push it into the release pin. After the switch is released, you can easily remove it. It should come out without much difficulty if you follow the steps carefully.
Replace the starter relay
A starter relay is a device in a motorcycle’s engine that allows you to bypass the ignition switch without a key. It is made up of four terminals: two smaller wires for turning the relay on and two larger wires that connect the battery to the starter and carry battery voltage. One of the relay’s terminals is usually grounded while the other is large and connected to a large stud on the battery.
First, unplug the starter relay. It will disable your motorcycle’s horn and lights. Then, unscrew the kill switch by pulling the two connector ends out of their housings. Be careful, as some connectors can back out when you fiddle with them. Next, disconnect the battery from the starter and check the resistance. The resistance should be less than 1 ohm. If it is more than that, replace the relay.
