HWB Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 How do you guys maintain the killswitch/lightswitch housing while running your push pull system ? Mine wont fit. Any 1st gen replacement or something ? Im using the motion pro kit cheers Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Switch the switch to one that has no throttle cable housing and use the motion pro, or switch to a switch that incorporates a push-pull housing. What model / country is your bike? Uk model bikes have a parking light so if you want to retain this then obviously you need a switch with a 3 stage light switch rather than a simple on-off light function. The last one I changed to was to a DR600 switch as this has a vertical operation for the light switch and saves space on the bars with using a separate housing for the throttle becaus the unit is really slim. This unit was only used on the early DR600 and 650 freewind thingy though, so not easy to get secondhand. Quote Link to comment
HWB Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Yes i have a parking light but i dont really mind not using it i can always rewire it with the headlights no problem i just need a housing that works, ill try to find the dr600 switch but as u said i think thats a long shot, any other recommendations? What are people running with the flatties ? Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) The SV 650 (1000 too??) switch is vertical in operation and really slim but only has on/off for the lights. It's much more common and easy to obtain than a DR switch. Edited March 26, 2021 by Dezza Quote Link to comment
bluedog59 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Sorry to correct you Dezza but it's DR650 (96 onwards) and it also fits the XF650 Freewind. Edited March 26, 2021 by bluedog59 Typo 1 Quote Link to comment
HWB Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Ok then time to buy an sv 650 switch 2003-2006 works ? Quote Link to comment

Gixer1460 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Or just re-drill the bars so the switch locating pin fits more inboard? 1 Quote Link to comment
vizman Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Can’t remember what it was off, but it might be documented in the projects section under the moniker ‘Valentino’ 1 Quote Link to comment
vizman Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I also found that the rf900 push pull r/h switchgear works well on rs’ 1 Quote Link to comment
