Understanding Motorcycle Switches

Ignition  performance (trick)

Understanding Switches of your motorcycle

We all know the characteristic of every switch out there that turns on and turns off the supply of any electronic equipment. They operate in such a way that the two contacts just slide with each other, and therefore prone to corrosion, moisture and degration. This in turns lower the efficiency since the contact is not 100 percent in contact with one another. More often, if the switch handle current more than their rated characteristics, then it heats up building more corrosion and blackening, producing more contact problems. A slight increase on their resistance, produces problems to current flow.

Now let us examine all possible switches there is on a motorcycle. What are they and what they are switching?

let us start, (add more on comments if i missed something)

IGNITION SWITCH
HORN switch
TURN SIGNAL switch
BREAK LIGHT switch (front and rear)
