 +Check the Electrical Section of [[techtalk:​ih:​elec03|IH]] or [[techtalk:​evo:​elec03|EVO]] for the OEM configuration of the Keyswitch.

 +If you have to replace a keyswitch, realize that the 3-position keyswitches that are commonly available\\
 +have the same internal operations but there are two different ways they are labelled:

 +
 +If you buy an older style switch (with B - IG - L functions) realize that you can use that switch\\
 +on the later models, but the labels will not be correct for how you must connect it.
 +
 +If using the early switch on a later model, you will connect the wires as follows:
 +
 +^  Using Older Style 3-position Keyswitch on Newer Style Wiring ​ |||
 +^ Switch Label ^ Connection From/To ^ Typical Wire Color |
 +|  B  | FROM Main Circuit Breaker | RED wire |
 +|  IG  | TO Accessory Fuse Only | RED/Gray wire |
 +|  L  | TO All Other Fuses | RED/Black wire |

 For 2014-later modesl, if you would like to use an old-style key switch (for relocation or other reasons) to operate your bike, instead of the CANbus key switch, the following circuit will implement a functional equivalent. This circuit __uses stock resistor values__, therefore, instead of showing 800 ohms for ACC Mode it will present 900 ohms to the BCM and for IGN Mode, instead of 200 ohms, it will present 220 ohms to the BCM - but these minor differences should still allow this circuit to replace the CANbus Key Switch and the bike will function correctly. For 2014-later modesl, if you would like to use an old-style key switch (for relocation or other reasons) to operate your bike, instead of the CANbus key switch, the following circuit will implement a functional equivalent.
