i believe you can go to motosport and just search for an ignition button or starter button and buy one. thats where i bought mine..its billet and works great

i used the fly racing one, its not cheap but it works first time every time, i went through three cheap yz style starters that id have to hit like 3 times to get to fire, plus the fly one looks nice on the bars.

If you can find a Cannondale dirtbike button, they are one of the best you can buy. Completely sealed and waterproof.

We have used and sell a lot of the fly ones they are more expensive but seem to last longer.

I use a CRF 450X. I tried the fly one and it shorted out and killed the engine right after a holeshot and continued to stall the engine throughout the race...anytime a part cost me a race...goodbye part never to be used again. They even sent me a free replacement one. You want it...pay for shipping and it's yours. I'll stick to OEM Honda...bulletproof IMHO

yr mailbox is full as a rule most aftermarket arnt that well sealed... I always wrap the bars with a layer of good tape to avoid any shot circuits, and I take the switch apart and coat the inside of the switch with dielectric grease just dont get the grease on the contacts or it wont work, doing this makes sure it wont short out if wet or dirty,

actually i use dielectric grease on all connections to keep moisture out and the cover with tape to keep dirt out

Baldwin makes a setup that is complete plug and play. I just ordered one and am curious to see it. Yes it cost a little more but not having to cut the wiring up is worth it imo. Makes it easier if you sell it at the end of the season also.

DONT get this one. I tried it and It doesnt work good at all. I sent it back and got another one that works very well.

This is the one I got first.
