So took a few minutes at lunch with a multimeter... If the clutch lever is set to the closest position, it doesn't activate the switch when pulled to the bar (non-oem grips for a BMW which are slightly thicker). One click out and the switch works fine. So I'll leave it there since the other...

Maybe not. Got on the bike to ride to work this morning and it didn't start. Put the bike in N and it fired up so the switch lasted exactly one night... I thought I bent the plunger when installing the adjustable levers but now I'm wondering if there's something more going on. I need to pull...

Installed the switch and it works so I had it backwards in my head. All is working on the bike now and I had to take it for a short 20 mile ride.

New switch arrived today and now I'm confused. Part # 35330-413-003 Tested with a meter is there's continuity between the pins. Push the plunger in and it's an open. Is this right? I thought (OK, assumed...) pulling the clutch lever would push the plunger in creating continuity which is...

I grew up outside Paducah so I'm very familiar with that bridge and have ridden several motorcycles across it. Honestly, the posted speed limit is a bad speed. Ride a little faster and it gets better. Too much faster and it gets worse. Same for a car, the posted speed is bad. After I...

Thanks but I have one on order. I got mine from Amazon and they fit well (did have an issue and they sent replacement parts). I could probably modify the point where it hits the switch but I just don't feel like it now. What I ordered today is from Cycle Gear and will be delivered to the...

Thanks. I guess I forgot how the clutch & kickstand switches interact. Tried again with the kickstand up and it fires up with the switch shorted. So it's just the switch which is an easy replacement. Unfortunately it's been too long since i bought it an I can't return it as defective (didn't...

Haven't ridden much the past couple years but the last thing I did was install adjustable levers. It would appear the clutch lever hits the switch wrong and bent the plunger instead of shoving it in. So now when I pull in the clutch, the bike won't start. Replaced the switch and have the same...

So over a month ago I installed FXCNC adjustable levers. The clutch lever would pop and lose adjustment in two positions. Took a week of emails with support and they decided to send me a replacement part (just the lever, not the piece where it mounts). The process wasn't too bad but they had...

When I changed my coolant, I recall some paint being in there. It was loose but still attached so I peeled it off. Shouldn't have to do that. I believe there's the main coolant drain and an allen screw at the base of the cylinder. Remove both, flush with water, then fill. I fill the...

They're free so no reason not to take the class regularly. Took two last year (first & second level). Signed up for four this year but the first three were cancelled (heavy rains, flooding, and one day was sleeting). Maybe next year I'll get in more classes. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Ordered 7 monitors at work from an Amazon seller. 1 showed up and tracking provided by the seller said one box was delivered to another state (yeah, 6 x 24" monitors in one 12 pound box). After realizing they were not going to help, I contacted Amazon, waited for them to figure out what...

So I made a video of my defective clutch lever and started a claim through Amazon. FYI, Amazon strips all non-Amazon URLs from claims so they didn't get the YouTube links. Can you send a picture? Sure but I fail to see how that helps. YouTube videos aren't public so you need the URL to see...

Today I ride to work. Woohoo! Exciting, I know. [emoji16] To show support the issue with my new levers, I took this video today. Settings 2 and 5 are an issue but others are fine. Setting 5 seems to work if it's just right but 2 will fail after a few attempts. I'll update with support's...

After 3 weeks of waiting, my adjustable levers arrived. Cheap levers from China (FXCNC brand) so I mostly hoped they worked. My wife's arrived a week ago for her Rebel 500. Install and fit was just like OEM. Clutch works at any position. Brake works in any position but I feel the two...
