Broken starter switch

Yesterday I broke the small plastic switch that you press to start the engine. I ordered the new part for $40 but I don't see where it plugs in. I know I could just cut the wires and solder them but I would like to do it right. On the other hand, if I have to take the bike apart just to get at it, then I don't know if I have the ability. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Wow, sorry can't help with technical but I'm just wondering how that switch broke.

I'm wondering the same thing. Same story. Riding down the trail and all of a sudden I'm on my ass. I get the bike up and see that the switch had broken. The odds of that particular piece breaking gotta be astronomical.

ill try to check my service manual tonight when i get home for ya

From memory it is on the right hand side of the frame, you will have to remove the tank and possibly loosen the radiator. Happy wrenching.

I had this same problem in the middle of a ride. Luckly, I used my buddies key to short the switch to start the bike.
The replacement switch has a plastic connector that feeds down the center of the frame. Just follow the wires.
For some reason, I remember being in the wire bundle on the left side - had to remove the plastic to get to the bundle.
I did not cut the plastic around the wiring, but it was a pain to unplug the connector.

yes, just keep following the wires, there is a plastic connector tucked into a large wire bundle just out of sight if I remember. take the plastics off and follow the wires.

I broke mine with my knee when I crashed during a supermoto race, well actually the last practice before racing started. ended up having to use a screw driver to jump the connection to start it for the race. came into corner 2 way too hot and over shot it. I kept the bike upright when I hit the grass but I killed the motor. I looked up and saw my wife running across the track with the screwdriver so I could at least run some laps. I'll never forget that day.
