Slider Activated Latched Switch :
(Plastic Case)
This type of switch is typically found in many Suzuki, Kawasaki and Triumph
models. It may have Hi-beam passing button as well.
„ When moved in either direction, one pole is disconnected while the other
is connected.
„ The slider moves freely to either side and returns to the center but the
electrical switch remains latched. It must be pushed-in to release the latch.
„ The internal switch and the slider
mechanism must be removed from
the housing.
„ This type of switch does not
require return springs to be
installed.
„ As you move the slider from side
to side, note the motion of latching
finger-like tabs in the plastic cavity.
They move up and down to latch
the electrical contacts in place. The
object is to keep the tabs from
latching.
„ Cut a ¼” x ½” rectangular piece
of stiff plastic, such as the clear
plastic clamshell package of the
signalMinder.
Insert it over the up and down
moving tabs to prevent them from
latching. Lubricate it well to allow
smooth movement of the slider.
„ Alternatively, you can snip the
tips of the latching tabs. This will
also prevent them from latching.
However, this will be a permanent
alteration of the handlebar switch.
