Map switch question

Hello all,

Is there anything special about the map switch, or is it just a normal switch? As in: do I need to buy to OEM one, or can I use any switch? I assume I can use any switch. A cheap Chinese piece from Amazon is much cheaper than the OEM option. https://www.amazon.ca/Motorcycle-RAXFLY ... cle+switch


Also, where does it connect?

I have a 2016 RR 430 and it did not come with a switch from stock (Canada). Trying to add it now. Thanks,

-James

Yup, open/closed switch. I used the very switch you linked and other then the leads being a little short, works well. Simple open/grounded circuit, 2nd lead from switch just needs to be grounded anywhere. Stock = open circuit, grounded = slightly softer delivery. Look for a single female barrel plug located poking out of the wire harness under the frame backbone somewhere between the throttle body and the head.
