Any Tech Advice Replaceing Ignition Switch.
My ignition switch / lock get wet over the winter and froze. Now it's starting to malfunction. I'd like replace it with the exact replacement. Anybody know where I can order that part?
There was a place in Oklahoma, I think was Anamcycles or something similar. But last few times I tried to call he never answered the phone. I could really use this switch / lock. So if another will work from like the 200 enduro, could someone let me know? Thanks, Stacy |

Take it apart and clean it with contact cleaner. Then lube the lock with dry graphite and the switch with die-electric grease.

My guess is most of the china bikes will interchange, but I would try the cleaning method first.

you should obviously check the switch contacts with a voltmeter and try jumping the contacts to start the bike.
doing this will rule out wiring problems (open connectors) |

Took it apart and clean it, works perfect for now.
Anam cycles is still there, same parts person and all. Guess he was just really busy. The ignition is $60 but he has one. So I'll try this a little while.
Thanks, Stacy |
