Please answer my question please please need a part
I have a 98 suzuki intruder 800. Unfortunately there is something wrong with my kill switch I need to bang on it to start does anyone have a link I can use to buy a new one. I do not want to get stuck with her leaving me stranded. I checked a bunch of sites and salvage yards and I can't find anything I am a new rider so there might be somthing universal I could use please help me get her back to normal I'd appreciate it so much. Thanks riders !

Re: Please answer my question please please need a part
Hello there, have you tried chasing the wires, from the kill switch, to make sure they're still plugged into the rest of the bike? Do you have a service manual?
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

I have not I don't have much bike experience but I wouldn't think a wire would be disconnected if it fires up when I play around with the switch and hit on it a bit .

Check with Suzuki if this is the correct part number, then compare prices...
