I have a 89 650SX. Started ok the past few times when testing. I went to hit the switch and nothing happened. Jumped battery to starter/fired up, jumped CDI box to starter fired up just fine. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue? I am leaning toward a bad switch but want to make sure as these are expensive!

had the same issue and it was the box. to double check the switch you can either disassemble it and jump it or just follow the wires in the box. if you look online you should easily be able to find the wiring diagram.

no fear here

These switches are serviceable. Take it apart, clean it up, use some electrical grease, and put it back together.

Spend some time, save some money.
