Starter Relay qusetion?

[KrazyK]

Ok I was told to go pickup a lawn tractor relay, mine has a wire coming out I assume for clutch saftey switch if I can use it how do I bypass saftey switch?

That wire on the solenoid is not from the clutch switch, it's from the starter switch. That is what engages the solenoid, so you don't want to bypass it.

Now to answer your question:
To bypass the clutch switch, follow the wires from the switch into the headlight housing. There are two bullet connectors inline there. Disconnect them, then connect the two bullets that are part of the main harness together. Now you don't have to pull the clutch to start the bike.

Unlikely

You probably don't need it; let us know how it works out.

steve: whereabouts might one look for the two connectors in the wiring harness? just follow if possible from the headlight? i would LOVE to disconnect the clutch safety switch.

i find it a real pain while trying to work the choke.

It's behind the headlight - just follow the clutch switch wires into there, you'll see the connection.

BTW, the clutch switch is identical to the front brake switch; so if you ever need some parts, there's an easy source.

Just follow the wires from the clutch switch into the headlight housing, you can't miss them. There will be a connector in each of the two wires and they have the gender of the connectors conveniently opposed so that when you disconnect the clutch switch, you can connect the two wires from the main harness together. You can leave the wires leading to the clutch switch disconnected if you wish.
