Need a new keyed ignition switch. Help!

[fst96se]

Hey all, I had a bit of an off and broke my keyed ignition switch.

The bike will still kick start, but e start and my trail computer don't work.

Anybody know what part I need to get to replace that switch?

Also, I'm wondering about maybe eliminating it altogether. In which case I would need some sort of handlebar switch to turn electricity on and off. Anybody else done that?

I guess the part number is in the parts list at www.gasgas.es for your year and model?

On the 2011 models the key switch has two functions.

Key on = make contact on the red wires to enable operation of the start button
Key on = break connection of the ground cicuit that shorts out the primary voltage for the ignition (no spark)

Key off = break circuit on red wires
Key off = make circuit for the ground

Bike can be kickstarted by disconnecting the wiring harness to the key switch (ignition grounding is defeated).

Later bikes may be different, download the relevant manual from the GG site and follow the wiring diagram.

I ordered a switch from maddow cycles but it's backordered.

Anybody know if there is another brand substitute?
