switch???? you mean on the clutch side?? the only switch i know of on these bikes is on the clutch lever side wich is a dummy start switch. makes the bike not start should it be in gear....

yeah i believe your thinking of the clutch instead of the front brake. the switch engages when u pull back on the clutch lever far enough and allows the bike to start in gear. leave the switch on there when u install ur lever.

I just mounted up my C5 lever and just realized this (I had not seen this thread before ordering the lever). What a joke. Surely it wouldn't have taken much additional effort to design a lever which makes use of the switch. :rolleyes:

Check out this thread:

There's another thread by the same guy that's related to the one I just referenced. Do a search and you should be able to find it.
