    clutch/brakeswitch

    are the clutch and brake switch assembly the same pieces or is there any differences, if there is, will this gsxr one work?



    does anyone have a recommendation for a better price?

    One way to see would be to go to a Suzuki parts supplier website and compare the part numbers. For instance, the oring on the oil dipstick for my bike is also used as an oil seal on a Suzuki outboard motor.

        My experience with my 1100GK is that the clutch switch and the brake switch are the same on the switch end. THe switch end being the circuit board thing with the two contacts and then the u-shaped contact.... that portion is the same between the clutch and the brake switch assemblys.
        THe part numbers will be different because the the connectors on the other end of the wiring harness are different relative to being male or female bullet connectors (and maybe wire colors). So, if you can deal with the different connectors (cut them off and put on what needed, for example), then, yes, can use one for the other.

        Other thing to consider is that the 650 is the one model that might use different parts from most other models.

          On my 850, they are different. I couldn't find a clutch switch, so I ordered 2 brake switches, thinking they were the same. The wires are soldered pointing in different directions. I ended up re-soldering my original clutch switch because it was easier. You could also do what many people here do - eliminate the clutch switch by plugging the wires together inside of the headlight bucket.
