I know in the 82-83 750 and 1100e it is only two allen bolts to remove the ignition switch, then there one screw to take the switch part off the bottom of the ignition...
I did have to move the headlight out of the way to get in there...

Now you can turn the ignition on and off with a coin or screwdriver...
When I did this I just wired tied it to the fork to get home...


I hope that helps...good luck.

Or unplug the connector, make a jumper with wire and spade connectors to join the wires together. Sorry, don't know which wires.

marshton1, this work was done in a hotel parking lot with limited tools, btw, so you should be able to do it w/o much of a problem if you bring a proper set of tools.

Does the ignition turn, maybe with a screwdriver? Probably not but it would be the easiest method.

Are the forks locked? If so you'll have to do as indicated and remove the ignition switch. If not, or after you remove the switch, then all you have to do is hotwire the bike. My preferred method is to use jumper wires at the fuse block to power up the ignition and other systems. You can do jumpers at the ignition switch connector but for me accessing the fuse panel is much easier.
