Yesterday I was doing the first test run of a 11' FXS Blackline after mods on wheels, suspension and custom paint (will post pics in a few days). When I came back home, I noticed the thumb lever of the ignition switch fell off and I had to use a pair of pliers to turn the bike off.

Question is: Has anyone had the same problem? Can I ask the dealer for warranty? The bike reached one year on Aug. 23rd.

Thanks

 

Same thing happened to me yesterday.

I couldn't get the thing to turn with my fingers so i thought it was just a switch and i removed the wires from my battery to turn it off.

Anyone have any information on the lever, and what op said.

 

The dealership said they will cover it as warranty. It seems that an allen screw is what keeps the lever in place it has happened to Rockers and Blacklines alike. Damn lever will take at least one week to get here. In the meantime I have to carry pliers wherever I go.

Part No. is 71796-11

 

the same thing happened to mine.. the lever was replaced under warranty recently... I am planning on removing the allen bolt and applying more blue loctite..

Just planning on doing the same. Blue Loctite.......never leave home without it......!!!!!!

 

Lost mine as well. but with the key I can turn on and off.

 

This just happened to me. I'll talk to the dealer tomorrow since the bike is only 6 months old.

 

i got lucky and caught it before i lost it, tightened it up and hasnt moved since

 

Dealer is replacing it at no charge, no questions asked. I will apply blue Loctite.

 

I lost mine as well and turned it with my fingers for a few months. It got super tight one day and I had to use a pliers. I accidentally turned it a little too far that day but didn't break it. A few weeks later I tried using my key to turn the bike off and I broke the switch.

It would only spin and spin and spin but the internal switch was separated from the lock barrel. Now I need a new barrel/switch.
