I have a simple on off switch

 

7 bucks with free shipping on an ignition switch.Can't get much cheaper than that.IGNITION KEY SWITCH FITS POLARIS TRAIL BOSS 325 SE 2000 2001 ATV NEW | eBay Don't advise it but you can use a jumper wire or paper clip at the red and red/black wires of the switch harness as a temporary bypass. Then you should be able to use the start button. Have to remember to pull the jumper wire when through riding.

 

I must've got the part wrong the problem is with the switch on the handle bar I think it was in kill mode before the switch broke and I can't start it i have the key is just won't start because of the switch

 

If you can disconnect the black kill wire(without cutting up the harness) and jump the red to red/black.This should bypass the left control switch and allow power to the ignition switch. Don't know if this works but worth a try.

 

I'm gonna see if this works thank you ill let you know.

 

You are talking about the wires running to the handle bar switch right?

 

Yes..

 

I have an 04 sportsman 700 that I want to bypass the original ignition switch. I got the wiring diagram from my polaris dealer and it only shows 7 wires going to the switch but I have 10 wires! I want to put a toggle switch to power up everything and a momentary switch for the starter. Is this possible? If so, which wires do I put to the toggle and which wires to the momentary?

 

Same thing I replied to in your other post.. Why? If it's a switch problem this 3 position switch is cheap.10 bucks.http://www.ebay.com/itm/IGNITION-KEY...5YLwwM&vxp=mtr

 

I'd spend the 10 bucks. Down the road you may want to sell these. Would you buy an atv that the ignition has been hotwired?

Also, you could be out on a public trail somewhere and might just have a courtesy check from either law enforcement or game warden. That is going to look very suspicious to them.
