where is this machined dot located

 

 

You do have to remove the clutch lever to check for the machined dot.

 

Safety issue. My second one lasted only 3 months. Out of warranty now.

 

Harley knows this is a problem and they own the propriety for that switch pack. My 2017 is out of warranty, so I was out of luck! Paid $272.00 for a new switch pack, changed it out myself, about 30 minutes. Fixed my issue, since the bike would not start in gear! Also, bike does not stall when coming to a stop or slow speed turn! Both issues were clutch safety switch. Yea, all this electrical safety stuff to help protect us from ourselves!

 

If the switch is normally open when the clutch is not pulled in one can just jumper around it and forget about it for ever.

 

MRFREEZE… can you explain how this can be done? It won’t help me any cause I already changed out with a new part, but I thought that the new “can bus” technology was all based on the “ribbon” wired system that spoke to the computer. If this happens again, as I have read that others are on their 2nd and 3rd, I would try your recommendation! Thanks in advance!

 

Not if you want the cruise control to work...

 

Deleted double post.

 

Best to properly diagnose and repair the bike rather than bypassing the switch. That switch is an important part of the bike’s operating system.
If the switch is not functioning properly the bike will start as long as the bike is in neutral. Unfortunately the system relies on the switch to make some decisions about the state of operation so fixing the bike is a much better idea.
