Glad to hear it is working for you- that is exactly why I make them!

It sounds like you have the dreaded stuck KiPass activation switch. As you have an early C-14, Kawasaki should replace the original spring with the newer, heavier spring used on later models. Between that and cleaning the switch and removing the burrs, it should all work find for quite a while after being serviced. This <should> be a free service, even though the bike is out of warranty as it was a manufacturing defect in the first place. No guarantee though- they may refuse it.

You can work on it yourself of course though it is kind of pesky in that security screws have to be drilled out from underneath the ign. switch housing, after it is off the bike. There are videos and overviews of how to do this out there in 'Net land though so you should be able to get a good idea what you need to do before starting.

Best of luck with this, it usually turns out fine once repaired / improved.

Just gotta say, this bypass switch came in handy on my 4 day trip! I've had it installed a few years ago after a stuck switch after a single incident. Fast forward to now...then on my recent trip this past weekend it got stuck all the time after the 1st day. :(  Luckily I was able to reach down and pull the fuse EACH and EVERY TIME to get it started.

Buddies were looking at me the first time thinking I was hot starting it till I told them the issue. Wasted no time and able to start easily. Thanks again for the extreme life saver Brian!!

But now that I'm back, I need to diagnose why I can't push the switch to activate it. Any ideas on where to start? Think I'll remove the ignition assembly from what I recall on Fred's photos earlier and go from there...

Brian, new member and new owner of a 2008 Concourse, I tried to order the Kipass bypass switch from your website but it says they are out of stock. (Tried to PM you as well but it says I'm blocked from sending you one.)  I'd love one of these bypass switches, can you let me know when you might have any more available?  Thanks!

I'll keep an eye on this.  I think Brian still monitors this thread but if he hasn't responded in a day or so I'll give him a shout.

Unfortunately, I am out of stock and the Covid virus is not helping me acquire components to build more (they are sourced from the OEM, overseas). No idea when I may have some more in stock.

BTW, you are not blocked, all private messages are blocked because I was getting orders through two forums, as well as the web page, and I could not keep track of them. You can always e-mail me through this forum though; just hit the 'envelope' icon next to the PM icon and I will get the message.

Congrats on the bike, most of us like them quite well.

Thanks for the offer Rich but I am sourcing them from.... well, the source :-) OEM. There are some other, aftermarket connectors that will work but they are greatly inferior to the OEM version. There are no OEM connector sources in the US for this particular connector.

So the problem is not that the connectors are not available, it is that I am having difficulty having them flown half- way around the world. I am told I am 'low priority'- can you even believe that? I buy them by the dozens of dozens and who can be possibly be competing with me..... Toyota? Nissan? Honda?  :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: Methinks me is at the back of a long and important supply line.

I may have one left but I doubt it. We just moved to a different state and of course everything is in chaos.

I do think I will put together another batch but it will be a little while, again to the house(s) situation, still dealing with property in two states.

Also unfortunately, I do not have Outlook set up on this machine so have very limited access to my website or emails to any of the 'incontrolne' addresses. I did see a couple of messages some days ago though and will respond to them when I again have access to the machine set up to get them.

Sorry for any inconvenience!
