That's a deal buddy!

 

You're so welcome.

When I think back to my dead bike on 95 and me waving my arm trying to get over (blinkers and tail light are dead along with engine when this happens) I realize I got very lucky that I wasn't killed by a texting driver who wasn't ready for someone coasting to get off the road.

I hope this thread prevents this from happening to someone else cause I got lucky. This is so easy to do, if you're bike's a few years old just open the switch and give it a little service. Could prevent a tragedy.

 

Wrong thread

 

Popping this up as I referenced it again for a poor chap that broke down due to this.

 

Can Bus has eliminated that issue. It has went even further with at least 2 of the 16 models. The old run/kill rocker switch is now run/off. The adjacent rocker switch is still start/hazards.

When you park your bike just hit stop and walk away. No barrell key except to lock the front fork. Just walk away with the fob.

The Low Rider S is set up that way as the the Road Glide CVO. Look for the others to follow.

 

Looks like I need to clean my ignition switch. Started ok in the morning, stopped for gas after riding 30 minutes and it would not start. Fiddled with the switch a little and it finally started. Bike generally runs wells and is reliable, but after 13 years I would guess the switch needs to be cleaned.

 

Been there too...on the side of the road. 20k miles on the scoot. Honestly this is kinda dangerous.

 

My RUN/OFF switch at the hand control's doin it.
Only a 14
kindw blows

 

No problems yet, but my Lo's a '14 also and both tank ignition and run/off are feeling "gritty" for lack of a better term, so I guess I better look into cleaning both. For Pete's sake, 2 yrs old and well cared for? Ridiculous.

 

True.
I ride in the rain and can't always shelter it when wet outside.
The MOCO claims these hand controls are sealed. They make no claim against them bein water proof.
