Ignition button issues

anthweiss · 07-15-2009, 07:22 AM

First off I would like to say this forum has helped me a lot there are a lot of helpful people on this site thank you all. I have a 83 vf750f and my ignition button sticks so I have to pull it out so it doesnt keep cranking. I have tried to find new ones online no luck new or used, and when I go on Honda sites they want to sell me a key mechanisim I just need a button. Can anyone tell me where I can find a ignition button or what its called so I can find it online? Or maybe if there is a macgyver fix for this spring from a bic pen etc.

Thank you,

The button has two pins it hinges on and the pins break off causing said problem.It can't be repaired . Replace it with a later model assembly. I put gen 5 switch gear on mine to solve the problem.
