Wow!! I do not believe I used the word "solution". However, what I posted is definitely a damn good workaround should a starter button/switch fail while out on the road. Opinions are like asses and elbows.....everyone has them.
Your first post clearly indicated the push button as a precaution against a possible problem. I've got one on my bike for the same reason and I have no electrical issues at all.
I will have dealership look at it whenever i bring in for winter storage. Heated grips and ignition.
My my concern is they will not cover under warranty (2017 limted at 14 months ) because of FP3 management system and radio flash for Amp upgrade
I'd be interested in your outcome.
It's my understanding that they can only disallow the powertrain. I wouldn't think the ignition switch would fall under that. Good luck.
