I want to get rid of my parking brake assembly and didnt want all the extra stuff just hanging there. So, I was wanting to know, if anyone has installed an aftermarket clutch lever that has the switch installation made on it? I really dont want to get rid of the switch only because my daughter gets on my bike and I dont really want her hitting the starter button when its in gear.

Thanks

 

I use a YZ perch and lever. Take the key out and your daughter can't start it.

 

I was looking at a grizzly 660's left hand brake lever yesterday at a ride

It has the sensor mount and looks like it would be perfect for raptor clutch.

 

Are these all OEM clutch perches? So I will have to go to the dealer and get these or does any aftermarket companies make them like the oem versions.

 

I'm gonna rig up a waterproof switch and mount it to the headlight upper mount bolt under the front fender.

I will leave it so that it is open all the time and the Rappy will only start in neutral, clutch in or not.

Then when I need to start it in gear, reach under the fender to the hidden switch, flip her on pull in the clutch and fire it up.

That way I'll still have the ability to start in gear when I need it (hardly ever) but the safety of the interlock the rest of the time, and a bad

*** aftermarket perch that looks CLEAN.

 

slappie So your saying if I disconnect that switch it will only start in neutral?

 

No. If you disconnect the switch and plug the male and female connectors together, it will start in any gear with our without the clutch pulled in.

If you just disconnected the switch without plugging the connectors into each other, it may just start in neutral, I haven't really thought about it. If you did it this way though, you wouldn't have the ability to start in gear ever, so it wouldn't be good if you stalled on a hill and couldn't find neutral for fear of rolling back or something.

Try unplugging your switch and starting in gear w/o the clutch pulled and let me know what happens. Mine is in the middle of an everlasting, eternal rebuild right now due to not enough wrenching time.

 

OK, I will see what I can find out.
