Switch

Does anyone know by chance what the throttle switch on my 2000 vz800 marauder does?..cant find any info in the manual
Thanks in advance

Starter button & engine kill switch (red) on the throttle side usually?

Not sure if your with me on this simbo,on the front carb there is a switch that activates when you get sort of throttle full open position,cant figure whether its a rev limiter switch or it signals ecu to advance or whatever,only thing in manual is disconnect to remove carbs cos its attached to um

Sorry Dave I was miles off there!    i've no idea what that switch is for?

Pics Dave to give members a clue.

will put some on in next day or so as iv slapped tank back on to use it today

Well the part code for the switch is 1363038E00 and is described as a 'Throttle Position Switch' and it is on the wiring schematic (see below) and its wired into the igniter (black wire), but can I heck as like find out what it does!!!



I have found this photo on the web, the switch looks like a normal micro-switch, and it looks like it is activated by the throttle cam on the carb when it is fully open, rev limiter of some sort?? I will keep digging :)

Hi Andrew,i was thinking same as you with the rev limiter,looking at the wiring diagram you put on it 
looks like the other wire goes to ground on the light circuit.I am going to post this pic i took aswell so i know im doin this photobucket thing right?

When the bike is running, what happens if you press it? The more I look at it the more I think its a limiter of some kind, either that or detonator/self destruct mechanism

 

Some say it's for advancing the ignition on full throttle, some say it's a california bike and for evaporation purge system, some say it's a restrictor? Personally? I've no idea

Some say that he once punched a horse to the ground and that he has built in night vision ..... lol

Hi is it a carb heater switch, a lot of bikes have them to stop carbs freezing under 10%.

Sent an inquiry email to suzuki u.k last night and have just had a phone call off them,turns out it advances ignition timing further on full throttle

That's good to know, Cheers Dave 

Always good to get the right answer, at least we all know now, cheers Dave.
