hi im new on here.i have a drifter 1500 2005 with 3200 miles on it and the rider down switch is missing is thhere a way to make the bike think its there bike has no spark and the fuel pump is not coming on if anyone can help me it would be awsome.
thanks GRIZ
I believe the short answer is no...there is more in there than a simple switch...that said, there are a bunch of them on eBay starting at about $5

thanks troll i just wasnt sure if there was a way around it.um there is a recall onit but i think without the old one they wont give me a new one.and i know that my father inlaw didnt bring it in for the recall.he also had a power comander on it he said that it would just load up and it ran like crap. so i took it off.i think i should check a few other things like the kickstand switch ect.cause i have no spark or fuel.i would really like to just get her goin again for him cause the bike has not seen the road sence 06 its only got 3200 miles on it.
That's really a shame. I bought mine out of a barn with a broken trans. It had been sitting for at least 3 maybe 4 years...Making it new again has been my mission, and I've put 22,000 miles on it since spring of 2010....Are you sure the sensor is really missing, or are you assuming that? Does the efi light come on when you turn on the key?
ok so i was wrong on the year its a 99 and yah i took it off and he was suppose to get the new one cause there is a recall on it i called kawasaki today with the info on the recall and they have not called me back yet .and none of the lights on the dash come on so i got some more stuff to look over any way ill let you know how it gose and thanks again man
Ok, you REALLY need to replace the sensor before you proceed.
ok guys found away around switch.but i have a problem stilll fuel pump is not strong at all like a catapillar pees harder than this thing and the bike sparks one time then nothin (spark plug grouned to side of motor)and is the fi light supose to be on?i know i sound dum but im really not i just know nothing about this bike im new to fi.lol i think i like carbs better any suggs will help i just dont have the money to send it to a shop and learn nothin in the prosses .
thanks guys again (cheif and troll)griz
I have a fuel pump....should be a bolt in for you... This thing cost me over $650 to order, and it turned out it wasn't the problem. I am not expecting to get much out of it, so make me an offer. There are a bunch of tip over switches on eBay for around $10 each, you should have the correct thing installed. The EFI light should come on when you key it up and then go out after a few seconds, unless there is a fault in the system. The fuel pump should develop about 45 psi and a LOT of volume.
I just checked bike bandit, and the pumps are different part numbers, but the mounting plate and hoses are what appear to be the big difference...the pump, itself seems to be the same, so you would have to transfer the pump to your mounting assy, no big deal.
