In the general scheme of things that would be below the last thing on my list to worry about on this bike.

Seems to me this video completely misses the point. The solenoid is not the activation switch. The problem has nothing to do with the solenoid. I've never had mine apart so correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the activation switch on the left side and that getting stuck down is the problem as I understand it.

Yes, you are correct. The solenoid is a symptom of the problem, it is NOT the problem itself. The video has done a great deal to spread miss- information about the actual problem but to be absolutely honest, I have grown weary of arguing about it so generally I just leave it alone these days and argue about other things if I really have the urge; truly important things such as just what is the best leather to use to strop a razor and so forth.... :-)

Any reference to KiPass, including text or video, that excludes its mad Pow-Ah is questionable

It was only a matter of time...

Hammer fun.  Swearing fun.

Hey, for those who may question it, I have proof:


Now that right there is a HONDA SNOWBLOWER running perfectly due entirely to the KiPass fob resting on the tank (known around my house as Ho- Blow- Pass). If that is not proof enough of the magical, mystical powers of KiPass, I cannot imagine what might be. And please note the absolute lack of snow in the picture: as soon as the fob was placed on the blower and the blower started, all the snow as far as the eye could see simply melted!

Since the Kipass can make anything work,  we can now do away with welfare and just force feed fobs to the disenfranchised. 

I'm sorry,  I said that out loud, didn't I?

You missed the entire point: KiPass is what is keeping the number of welfare recipients down to a manageable level. Why if not for KiPass, everyone would be on welfare,not working, and then where would we buy cigarettes and coffee and [impossible to open] plastic bags of lunch meat?

And guess who will have to supply the disenfranchised with subsidized low cost/free fob batteries?   

I am so glad to read that I am not the only one that has difficulty opening  some of those lunch meat packages. Next time I open one, I have my Kipass  FOB close by.

Just in case your battery is dead and you don't have a sword like Jim, keep a pair if scissors at hand.

The sword wasn't of much help with this situation, although I was this close to cutting the entire top of it off.

Here's some pointers for ye.

Thanks, I appreciate all the help I can get.  Pure comic genius, what a shame.

Back when SNL was actually funny.  Thanks. tomp

It does miss the point...lol. We had this discussion when he posted his video on here a while back:

It doesn't really take a ton of time to access the ignition switch (by removing the top triple clamp) and clean the switch up. There's no way I'd remove the whole front end of the bike to do what he did.
