      Thanks Dean, your way to kind, it seems here lately, lots of these projects have been trying my patience. The good Lord gets me through them and on to the next. When is your next episode coming out. You have me hooked on those little two strokes.

    Hi Dale. I liked your video on the ignition switch. My 1983 suzuki sp250 came with a 6 wire aftermarket switch. On the main wiring harness there is a 9 pin connector but only 8 are being used. I picked up a new oem switch for sn 85 sp250. I dont have the original switch that the bike came with but most of the wiring are the same colors. I tried hooking it up and had no luck. The only wire im getting power to is the black and the yellow. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Dennis from warren Michigan

      Oh wow, when you don't have the old switch, you will probably have to trace the wires where the switch plugs in to the main harness and relabel any different colored wires. Most of the aftermarket switches I have seen have the eight wires in the connector/connectors and a single ninth wire which is just a ground. It has been a long time since I did this, but the switch is divided into daytime (first click) nighttime (second click) so knowing that you can tell which lights/switches etc. are in operation. The reason you're not getting power but to one wire is because the switch is not wired right and is not sending power out to the other wires. What will make things easier is if you could find a used switch even if no good to trace wires and see which wire is switched when. A good wiring diagram would also be helpful. I don't remember for sure on the one I did, but I want to say I had to pull and relocate more than half the wires to line up with the old switch.

    the black/white is found as a ground in the head light bucket on my tc100.
