    I'm having issues getting my bike to turn over. I ran thought this check list ( http://xj650.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-t ... rcuit.html ) and it seems to be my started button. After cleaning and inspecting I cant find anything wrong with the button but it still doesn't check out. Would I be able to replace it with this ( http://www.amazon.com/Momentary-Button- ... tton+xj650 ). If so, what wires would i connect to the button (Blue/white and red/white). Thanks for all your help guys i really do appreciate it!

    McCaskey,

    Do you intend mounting that in a new location ?
    The wire the the start button just goes to ground to make a circuit.
