emergency stop switch

[pegscraper]

For anyone who has an RSV and a shop manual, what is the emergency stop switch, where is it located on the bike, and what is its purpose? The early Royal Stars don't have this switch. The switch in question can be seen in the RSV shop manual on pages 8-76 to 8-80, or near the bottom left corner of page 481 of the Clymer's manual. This is not the engine stop switch on the right handlebar switchbox. This is something else. What in the world is it?

Would that be the tip over switch? It worked when I dumped hard last year

You can find it on page 2-38 as item 2 it is in the front under the tank center mounted. It is intended to kill the engine in case of tip over. It has a 50 degree range.

Ah, I understand now. Thank you. I didn't know this thing existed. Never heard of such.

Kills power to the TCI and Fuel Pump, and Ignition coils!!!

The schematic shows it connected only to the ignition module. The ignition module then shuts down everything else.
