There maybe an adjustment on it, although I haven't found it. I guess it would depend on what pressure you wanted the two-step to kick in.

So it's a switch that is activated by the shifter as it goes into high gear ?

Todd,

That's it! It's disabled in high gear.

OK, Thanks Lew !!!

Can you explain why it would be plumbed into the rear of the M/C vs the front? I assume it is the pressure of the switch. Does it say what pressure to make the switch activate and how do you know what it is? A gauge?

Thanks

Robert

I would use a normally closed switch in the high gear line pressure checking point.
Or I would use a normally open switch in the low gear checking point. On my trans the low gear uses much higher pressure.

I have my switch plumbed into the front brakes, I can adjust the pressure it takes to activate it and have a pressure gauge on the dash.
