wat kind of ON/OFF switch u guys use for ur bike?

[new licensee]

hi all, can anyone share wat kind of ON/OFF switch to use on bikes?

I only manage to find this in my neighbourhood....

try to avoid the plastic ones

i once had this aftermarket plastic 4pin switch for my headlight

after usage for some time, the switch started to melt a little and malfunction

so my recommendation will be to get those metal ones which u flick up and down type.

if u wanna buy the plastic ones..

cos is compact.. easily to mount on the handle bar..

u must check the amp of the switch that it can withstand..

try to find out the amps needed for yr electric component..

then u reduce the risk of melted switch..

another alternative is add a relay to protect the switch..

remember to secure the wires attached to the switch tightly too.

the one you found seems like push-button type.

try to find toggle switch, they dun spoilt so easily...

try looking for it at car assesories shop, they have more there...

connect thru a relay if you are using the switch for something with high current.. it is safer and you can use smaller switch with lower ratings..

Why do you want a switch with a switch guard? What did you use it for?

[buttbutt8]

what does the thread starter meant by an on/off switch? to switch what? engine? head light? or?

[vicious]

Maybe to switch on/off unwanted fancy lights
