Ignition Switch

Saw this on eBay today if anyone is interested. Could be a pile of dog dirt as it's very cheap to say the least.

Be careful. I know a lot of Bandit owners that have tried these cheap, probably Chinesium lock sets and the ignition doesn't work. The Chinese didn't fit the required 100 Ohm resistor and they won't spark without it.

As said, not recommending these, they may be a pile of do do, but if my Ignition switch was done and I was on a budget 🤔

If you can swap the ignition switch then you can strip & clean the original, much safer option than chineseium tatt.

I have been on a budget (for my project) and tried those. I was in need of a ignition switch. Whilst everything else fits nicely, the electrical circuit in the ignition switch does not match the OEM circuit. From that complete set... i ended up using the gas cap gasket. The rest i binned and i bought a second hand OEM switch from a SV to get my project started... literaly 

I could not get it to work by swapping the pins over in the connector,  a resolder and extra wires are needed to get this to work. I opted not to do that for my pile of bits as i didn't want to be chasing my own tail out of cheapness

Clearly cheap for a reason then. Another case of if it seems too good to be true 🤔
