NOTE
When installing the ignition switch it is important to have the
fork lock pin pointing down while sliding the switch into place.
1. See Figure 7-4. While holding the throttle cables (3) to
your left (the right side of the vehicle), slide the ignition
switch assembly in to your right (the left side of the vehi-
cle).
2. Install the ignition switch (4) with the fork stop pin (5)
pointing down and, once in place, roll the assembly
toward you and insert the fork stop pin into the upper tri-
ple clamp.
3. See Figure 7-5. Attach ignition switch assembly to upper
triple clamp using ignition switch fasteners (6,7). Use
LOCTITE 271 (Red) on fasteners. Tighten to 18-20 ft-lbs
(24.4-27.1 Nm).
4. See Figure 7-7. Connect ignition switch connector [33] to
wiring harness.
5. Install horn connectors [122] and install horn assembly
tightening fastener to 72-96
in-lbs
(8-11 Nm).
6. See Figure 7-6. Connect:
a. Instrument cluster [39]
b. Left [24] and right [22] handlebar wiring harnesses
c. Turn signals [31]
d. Turn signal flasher [30]

DO NOT modify the ignition/headlight switch wiring to
circumvent the automatic-on headlight feature. Visibility
is a major concern for motorcyclists. Failure to have
proper headlight operation could result in death or seri-

fails, reread procedure and verify that all steps were per-
formed.

sure it is in locked position. While riding, a loose seat can
shift causing loss of control, which could result in death
or serious injury. (00070a)
