Member Contributer tomk1960 Posted May 28, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 28, 2013 The kill switch for my bike was broken when I got it, so I'm trying to find a replacement. The Honda part number is 35130-MB6-670. There are none on eBay right now, but there are plenty of switches for the V65 Sabre which look identical, but are part number 35130-MB3-771. Does anyone know if they're interchangeable? The switches on the smaller VF's also look the same, but all have different part numbers. I can't imagine why they'd be different, but maybe wire lengths vary from one to the other or something else more obscure sets them apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyZ Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Picked one up right from Honda for my 750 a couple years ago. Do not know if they are interchangeable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer tomk1960 Posted May 29, 2013 Author Member Contributer Share Posted May 29, 2013 Unfortunately, the part is NLA and none are to be found in NOS condition. Plenty of the used ones from other VF's out there though. I think I'll buy one and if it isn't wired the same, I'll remove the switch mechanism and swap it over.

Member Contributer vfrcapn Posted May 29, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 29, 2013 I have a CBR switch on my 1KR. I'd grab any old VF switch and swap the wires/plugs around if necessary. Main concern would be the length like you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I have a CBR switch on my 1KR. I'd grab any old VF switch and swap the wires/plugs around if necessary. Main concern would be the length like you said. That's what I did on my VF750F as well. 98 VFR800 left switch control (to retain the choke lever; modified) with the VF wiring soldered in. See my VF thread for details... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer tomk1960 Posted May 29, 2013 Author Member Contributer Share Posted May 29, 2013 I scored one of the lower priced V65 Saber switches with free shipping and will just swap over the actual kill switch into my housing since they're physically identical. I checked out mine last night and it looks like it will be an easy 15 minute job. I like the CBR suggestion too. Probably a bit more modern looking?

Member Contributer vfrcapn Posted May 30, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 30, 2013 I think Seb went with the newer, slimmer CBR-RR switches. I used the older style 954. Same size as the older Hondas, same as the VFR, but more modern look. I have a VFR800 switch on the other side to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I used a 98 VFR left switch and 06 CBR1000RR switch on right. The slim right switches are pretty much all the same from 93+, but the prices vary so I picked the cheapest one knowing I was changing the wiring.

Member Contributer Kel Posted May 30, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 30, 2013 Before my frontend swap I ran Nighthawk S switches on my R which matched perfectly but had a more robust starter button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
