FJR clutch master cylinder switch

[keand3]

Okey, this might bee a dumb question but here it goes.

Can someone please explain to me what this electrical connectors is for? Because I have no idea what this wiring on the clutch cylinder does?
I might be a bit stupid here, but I really never checked what they do...

Lately I have been thinking, since I have an R1 Brake Master Cylinder installed on my bike, and i really do like the look when you see the brake fluid reservoir, I would like to have the same on my clutch cylinder.
Would the wiring be compatible with the FJ?

Of course then I would be stuck with a spare FJ1300 Clutch Cylinder, but thats a question for another time and I am sure there is others here that would like one cheap..

Cheers

To the best of my knowledge. The switch that is on the bottom of the Clutch Master Cylinder is an interupt type switch. Circuitry for the starting system has the clutch switch that is similar to that of most manual transmission cars.

With the Clutch lever NOT pulled in and the tansmission IN gear. The bike should NOT start.

Clutch lever pulled in (switch made), transmission in gear, the engine should start.

Transmission in Neutral and clutch lever NOT pulled in, the engine should start.

Hope this helps and is not as clear as mud.
