Try to find OEM switches, those aftermarket are quite bad... they work sometime...

EDIT: Check that your starter relay is OK before installing new switch, otherwise you toast new switch too...

It would help if you would tell us the year of your bike, and/or get the pics posted.

I lost the starter button on my bike at the bank one day. Just a quick 5 minute trip. I didn't have one tool on me either. Had to push it home, 2 1/2 miles. Tried to jump start it like I used to do years ago but either I'm too old or that Crane Hi-4 won't jump start.

New a guy who had a Shovel that was so disgusted with the start button breaking all the time that he simply ran both of the wires out of the housing and would touch them together when he wanted to start his scooter.

Hi Jeff, Go to ebay and search this # 370297073904 seller is legendsmc. You get all the switches for $45 plus shipping and they are made in the good old USA. That's what I got, they are very good. (I think) Hope this helps. Ride safe.
