Default Ignition switch help

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?

My print shows 11 wires , did you miscount ?
According to the print -
#31 W/R goes to A
#23 & 24 both R/W go together to B
A & B goes to the momentary pushbutton for the starter


#30 & 22 both R/Blk go together to C
#45 & 47 both R go together to D
C & D need to go to a NO { normally open } contact which when closed is run position .
#2 & 39 Blk go together to E
#33 & 38 both Brn go together to F
E & F need to go to a NC contact , opens to run .

If you use a DPDT toggle switch put a jumper across 3 & 4
C to #1
D to #2
E to #5
F to #6


A & B go to a separate pushbutton for the starter , hope this is clear enough .

Money not an issue, time is. This is the third time the OE switch has shorted out also so it's time for a change

ok, had the wrong diagram, mine had a fuel gauge, but this diagram is not showing the white wire that I have in my harness. Wish I could figure out how to post a picture of the blooming thing...

3 switches? Sounds like you have other issues causing switches to fail. One failing over time,then yes,not an uncommon thing to happen. Three,something else.

There's two different wiring diagrams for this year , what colors does yours have ?
Does your machine have a fuel gauge ?
The only white wire listed is for the gear signal indicator .
