Clutch switch bypass question

myst · May 25, 2015

I have a 2000 sv650 so no fuel problems by doing this. The reason I want to do this is the new pazzo levers I put on do not activate this sensor when in the 1-3 setting however they do in the 4-6. This is annoying I don't want that setting and I don't want to start it in setting 6 and switch to 1. So I looked in to it and all I could find was this

Because I could find no posts about rigging the lever aside from one guy saying he put a small spring so it gave it the additional space. If there is more info on this id love it.

But my real question is why no one just flipped the stupid thing around? (Excluding the plastic tab breaking or being stranded yada yada I guess exclusively to new levers not pushing that tab far enough over)

I flipped the whole thing 180? and so it thinks the clutch lever is engaged when it's not. So are there any reasons as to why this is not good? Will it use up my battery? I guess I'll find out tomorrow. Because it was way quicker to flip the thing around than to cut wires and ect.

So what is your question?

Will having this sensor in the "clutch engaged" mode most of the time have any negative affects on the bike ie could it kill the battery or other thoughts idk

No. I did this to mine back in 2005. No ill effects.

clutch switch bypass makes no difference on a carbed model, on a FI model, it changes the map

In what way does the mapping change?

RMAN · May 25, 2015

Has nothing to do with the battery as far as a drain.

If you want the clutch switch to still function, I have cut small squares of clear plastic packaging to use as shims and used JB Weld to glue them to the contact area on the lever. They are usually not visible in use. You can add shims until you have enough. Since it works at setting 5 or 6, you probably won't need more than 2-3 shims.

Do you see how it's not moving all the way to the right (this is in setting 1) I would have to cut away part of the lever and then shim right?

Because this is stationary

And this is position 6

I bypassed my switch by soldering the two wires together at the clutch lever. It's been like this for years, and haven't noticed any ill effects. I have an 03 (FI).

the ecu thinks you are reving it no load neutral and is not giving you everythng it can

myst · May 26, 2015

I have it "bypassed" for right now. But I am looking for a way to modify the lever in order to not bypass the clutch switch

Dave Art · May 26, 2015

With the TL's and GSXR's it's more pronounced, and you may definitely lose some revs. But not on the SV.

RandyO · May 26, 2015

the problem is usually worn sloppy clutch perch, that should be replaced to fix the problem, its not like SV clutch perch & lever are expensive $40 for complete assembly

Here's a link to a Youtube video.

. Suddenly I can't find the thread that shows the dyno results. But this Youtube video shows the same thing. There is absolutely no effect above 3300 RPM. GSXR's, however, will lose about 500 RPM on top, as will TL's.

Dave Art · May 27, 2015

Yes, I'm seeing 11.500 on the tach.

You, Sir, have an excellent sense of humor. And that's not punny!

More like "My momma says I'm special". :naughty:

TeeRiver · May 28, 2015

Momma's always right.

Hey look a good ole fashioned SVR :threadjack:

And Momma told me never to bypass the clutch switch.

TeeRiver · May 30, 2015

Your dual purpose starter-button/FuelBot select been working OK? I am always interested in the long term reliability.

Yeah, all good. I only use impg, so only 4 extra clicks per ride.

To Myst: congratulations on the most jacked thread of the week :naughty:
