HANDLEBAR SWITCHES 8.21

GENERAL

The basic switch configuration is the “Road King.” The Road King switches have no specialized functions. Other switches, referred to as the Road King Classic, Classic and Ultra, have additional functions, such as cruise control, sound system controls, etc., which cause them to differ from the Road King switches. To accommodate these added functions, special lower switch housings are provided.
NOTE Regardless of model or option, all vehicles use the same upper switch housings. The vehicles and their switch configu­rations are as follows:
Table 8-12. Handlebar Switches

NOTE: See Figures 8-91 thru 8-94 for illustrations.
NOTE To replace or repair individual switches in either the right or left handlebar switch assemblies, see SWITCH REPAIR/
REPLACEMENT in this section.
NOTE Use the eyelet of an ordinary cable strap if the cardboard insert is not available.
1. Place the cardboard insert between the brake lever and
lever bracket. See Figure 8-83.
2. Using a T27 TORX drive head, remove the two screws
with flat washers securing the handlebar clamp to the master cylinder housing. Remove the brake lever/master cylinder assembly and clamp from the handlebar.
3. Using a T25 TORX drive head, remove the upper and
lower switch housing screws.
4. Remove the friction shoe from the end of the tension
adjuster screw (non cruise equipped models only).
NOTE The friction shoe is a loose fit and may fall out or become dis­lodged if the lower switch housing is turned upside down or shaken.
5. Remove the brass ferrules from the notches on the
inboard side of the throttle control grip. Remove the fer­rules from the cable end fittings.
6. Remove the throttle control grip from the end of the han-
dlebar.
7. Pull the crimped inserts at the end of the throttle and idle
control cable housings from the lower switch housing. For best results, use a rocking motion while pulling. Place a drop of light oil on the retaining rings, if neces­sary. Remove the cables from the switch housing.
8. Cut two cable straps to release wire harness conduit
from handlebar.

Use extreme caution when operating the UltraTorch UT­100 or any other radiant heating device. Read the manu­facturers instructions carefully before use. Always keep hands away from tool tip area and heat shrink attach­ment. Avoid directing the heat toward any fuel system component. Extreme heat can cause fuel ignition/explo­sion. Avoid directing heat toward any electrical system component other than the connectors on which heat shrink work is being performed. Be sure to turn the “ON/ OFF” switch to the “OFF” position after use. Inadequate safety precautions could result in death or serious injury.
6. See Figure 8-109. Using the UltraTorch UT-100, Robinair Heat Gun with heatshrink attachment or other suitable radiant heating device, uniformly heat the heat-shrink tubing to insulate and seal the soldered connections. Apply heat just until the meltable sealant exudes out both ends of the tubing and it assumes a smooth cylin­drical appearance.
2. Strip 1/2 inch of insulation off switch wires. Twist stripped ends of switch wires until all strands are tightly coiled.
3. Cut dual wall heat-shrink tubing supplied in kit into one inch (25.4 mm) segments. Slide tubing over each wire of new switch assembly.
NOTE
If absent from kit, obtain heat shrink tubing (Part No. 72266-
94) and two 7 inch cable straps (Part No. 10181).
4. Matching wire colors, mate old and new switch wires and splice as follows:
a. Hold the wires so that the stripped ends cross as
shown in A of Figure 8-108. Note that the wire on the left is on top and two-thirds of its stripped length lies beyond the point where they intersect. Looking at the other wire, only 1/3 of its stripped length lies beyond the intersection point.
b. Holding the wires together at their juncture, start the
splice by tightly twisting the top one-third length of the right hand wire over the left as shown in B of
Figure 8-108.
c. Tightly coil the remaining two-thirds of the left hand
wire around the right with the results shown in C of
Figure 8-108.
d. Solder the spliced connections.
For best results, do one wire at a time.
NOTE
Electrically connected solder outside the tubing may cause a short to ground resulting in switch failure.
7. Inspect the melted sealant for solder beads. Excess sol­der or heat may force some solder out with the melted sealant. Use a small needle nose pliers to remove any solder found. Briefly heat the connection to reseal the tubing if solder beads were removed. Use less solder or reduce heating time or intensity when doing subsequent splices.
5. Center the heat-shrink tubing over the soldered splices.
