Video of ignition switch removal

Excellent Video. Extremely Helpful. May just give me the confidence I need to tackle this project. Two quick Questions;
Your video did not address the removal of the ignition switch nut, spacer, & ignition switch position plate. After you remove the Fairing Cap and all the ignition switch parts, will the reinstallation be as simple as that displayed on your video? Specifically, Will the ignition tumblers continue to line up?
Also, do you have to be concerned with the ignition switch tumblers falling completely out? Thanks.
 
It sure will. The only problem with using a screwdriver is that you need to turn both cams simultaneously. If you look down in the hole you will see a white (lower) and black (upper) cam. The tool is makes sure they both turn to the same selection together.





Ask and you shall receive.

Ignition switch on


Ignition switch off and spring located under the switch


Unscrewing retaining nut


Pic of first spacer after retaining nut is removed. It just slides off.


Retaining nut and first spacer off. Pic of plastic spacer.


All laid out in order...they only go on one way.


Selector plate removed. It just pops in and out.


Removing torx screw (one on each side)


Fairing cap removed and ACC plug. Notice the ignition switch is bolted down so no need to worry about what to do with that. I installed all the spacers and nut back on it.


Picture fork cap bolt once all is removed.







That's what my wife says but I'll stick to being a LEO. No, not a motor officer the real ones....hahahah just kidding.
 
Just one small correction. The retainer nut will go on up side down. Ask me how I know. If you do this you can put the lock assembly on but it doesn't rotate very well.
