Dead R3

All triumph fixes and I cop the same sh#t today in a corner, happy the dealer was shut this afternoon, because Marty is not a happy boy.
 
Been There

I was out for a benifet ride with a bunch of Harley riders and pulled in for gas. Same thing happen. radio shack right next door, walked in googled the problem. found out the ignition switches in the R 3 are junk. bought relay and wireless trans/reciever some wire acouple of tools. 2 hrs later I caught up with them at dinner. Thanks to the wiring diagram on this site. I think I might have $100 in to it.
Never looked into replacing the ignition switch, keyless is fine for me. just don't forget your key to fill up.

Oh, DO tell us again, as in the other thread, what you'd do!

*lays on stomach, puts chin in folded cupped hands and gleefully awaits, with anxious anticipation, Big Marty's "punching" tale *
 
Go to a v-twin vender purchase a new harley style switch follow this diagram, and wire the puppy in a new location using the wiring for the old switch as a quick connect pig tail. Mount it just behind the oil tank on the leftside.
Leave the factory switch alone to use as a fork lock, and also it is not worth the time to remove.
