Damn it, just got the S3T, has been starting and running fine. The last thing I did was I noticed the headlight was cockeyed so I straightened it a bit. Did I mess up wires by the ignition switch? All wires by clutch and kickstand switch look good. The odometer is on though (Message edited by bsanorton on June 05, 2022) |

The turn signals work, horn works, taillight works. Did I disturb something behind the headlight in the headlight/ignition circuit? |

Round/Tubular key right? ~ Check the starter relay and connections. ~ Short together the two side-stand switch wires, at the connector. It may be bad. (All mine are shorted together at the connector.) ~ Try starting in neutral. If that works, the clutch or neutral switch are bad. ~ Three wire connector for ignition switch, directly behind the headlight. So, yes you could have disturbed it, or the switch/switch wires just went bad. They do. I have replaced two on my S3s so far. ~ Harley-Davidson replacement is $150.00+, but at least you get the same key code as your current fork lock and bags. ~ After market replacement is $28.00 at JP Cycles. ~ Use a multimeter to test. Recall connections are: RED - From battery. Red/White - Off/lights on. Red/Black - Lights & Ignition on. ~ When the key is turned all the way clockwise, all three terminals are connected together. ~ Reassemble connectors, after cleaning with electrical contact cleaner, coating with White Lithium Grease. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/714528.html?1373833749 http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/709405.html?1365381918 http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/384 2/760105.html?1428555843 http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/578059.html?1279025420 http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/414671.html?1229294629 Y0608.K - X1 Ignition + forks + seat 71421-90B Y0610.D - Dyna / M2 Ignition + fork Lock Combo 71441-94 - Ignition Switch only NOTE: The R/W and R/B wires are swapped on this replacement switch; https://www.jpcycles.com/product/3700020/twin-powe r-custom-round-key-ignition-switch |

It was the switch. After pulling off the bodywork and cleaning up the grounds, checking switches I went back to the front of the bike and took my screwdriver, laid it across all the male terminals in the connector and all was powered up. Now who has a spare barrel switch with the flat connector? And some of those plastic headlight adjusters? I mangled the plastic of the kickstand switch when trying to get it out for testing. It's jammed under the oil tank, is that where it should be?

~ D'oh! 71441-94 - Ignition Switch is for a flat key!!! Apologies. ~ Very small chance, likely years, that connector could put a hole in the oil tank. Peronaly I would move it. ~ I bought a replacement ignition switch and soldered the old flat connector wires to it. Can you solder? |

Thanks, I will try to move that connector for the kickstand switch. Having a hard time moving it. I think I will do what you suggest. I'm decent at soldering, but have a electronics guy in the neighborhood that can do it for me. |

Well, I was able to move the connector a bit and it is falling apart. Can I tie this off somewhere higher? Looks like it goes right into a harness but can't get to it. |
