    Even boats have seperate ignition and start circuits.

    Without some re-wiring by someone that really knows how wiring and circuits work, I would say it is worth it to just fix what is broken now. It would probably cost you about the same anyway.

    Can you post a link to the type of switch you want to install? Preferably including wiring information for the new switch.

    The Ignition on a Motorcycle does NOT have a Start Function at the Key Switch.

    Having a Start Option in the Ignition Switch would be a Life Threatening situation.

    Not just to the rider.
    To the Bike
    People near the Bike.
