howdy all

The switch being discussed isn't self canceling, it's a 'push to cancel'. I think the push is easier as I use to return the stock switch beyond the middle point (off position) as my gloves are a little bulky for feeling the small switch. The 'push to cancel' is much easier with the gloves on. I also like doing my long dirt rides with the lights off - especially in the winter as I only ride every 7 or 8 days. Keeps more of the charge in the battery. -----Original Message----- From: John Kokola [mailto:jck22903@...] Sent: Sunday, February 06, 2005 11:09 AM To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [DSN_KLR650] Re: What type of switch is this?

The stock bike w/stock switch is not self-cancelling. The switch we have been talking about has push-to-cancel. If your bike has self-cancelling then it was added. Jon... ============================ At 11:06 AM 2/6/2005, you wrote:

Thank you Tom. I've got a couple of different bikes (and am easily confused) so I couldn't remember at first that the KLR is "return to center to cancel" as opposed to "push to cancel." --John Kokola

If you ever used one with push to cancle I think you would understand. Plus it allows you to turn off the headlight, which comes in handy incase of electrical problems. It moves the mirror so it is unlikly to brake the housing in a tip over or crash. It also moves the choke to a better position. Worth $70 ????? Could wait until it falls over and the housing brakes, but I just had mine replaced because I like the push to cancle on the turn signals.

I've been thinking about getting one (eventually -- I've already been spending like a drunken sailor on stuff for my KLR. =) But does anyone know if the heated grips will make it hard to swap the switch console?

In my case, the 16T cut the vibration at highway speed considerably.

I just put the switch on my A17 at the same time I updated the bars to renthals and added Hot Grip heated grips. All the bar components/switches can be removed from the bar by splitting into two pieces around the bar; in otherwards, they don't need to slide off the ends of the bars. I had to epoxy the left grip to the bar itself. No problem removing the switches with the left grip in place. HTH Randy from Burbank --- Bill Emmack wrote:
