What RPM is it cutting out? You're not hitting your rev limiter are you?
My new switch came in. My clutch mod is back!
Go without it a few days. You start to adjust. But just when you start to think you can do without it because there really wasn't THAT much difference...........

I'm confused by the descriptions of this mod making the throttle "more sensitive".
With the mod it feels much more predictable and linear to me; as opposed to the throttle in the regular setting which feels sensitive, notchy, and unpredicatable.

I agree with you Mark. Clutch Switch Mod is smoother.
H mode = Hooligan, I mean Clutch Switch Mod, has the feeling of more Power and overall Smoothness.
T mode = Touring is "blah" off the line
S mode = Sport can be twitchy with an occasional "backfire and stall" (<--self inflicted?? I blame low octane fuel.)
I usually switch H mode off once I am up to speed and cruising.
My two cents on the mod.

I believe twitchy is a subjective term. I've never found the S10 twitchy in any mode of flight. With/without mod, T or S mode. My guess is it all depends on what you're used to riding. I've always gravitated to bikes that give a big response when twisting the right wrist, so the S10 seems pretty average to me.

Don't think twitchy is the right descritpion. Snatchy more like. For instance, if you are trail riding at low speeds the throttle becomes very abrupt ON/OFF while in SS Mode. Definitely put it into T or S Mode for trail riding. Thats why its nice to have the On/Off Switch rather than just the fuse. You get to use all 3 Modes at the push of a button. ::001::
What switch are you using? I bought the tusk switch, but the quality does not seem that great. It works, but I dont see it lasting very long.snakebitten said:
The first switch (that went bad) was the one sold at Eastern Beaver. It has a little bit better "feel of quality" compared to the Tusk. Not much. And double the price.coastie said:
So the new one is the Tusk. At 9.99 I might just keep a spare. I ride in all weather. Neither of them look like they will last against extreme wet.
Trailtech switch here. Very robust and comes with easy fit blades.

I see this thread come up and keep realizing I put the fuse across the clutch switch months ago and have only removed it once and that was to feel the difference. I very shortly put it back being satisfied it was what I liked. Now I always thought I would put in a switch but never have because I don't feel a need to. The fuse stays in place and does what I like so IMO why bother with any switches. Perhaps I am missing something-? As long as we are not doing any damage I am happy with the utter simplicity of this modification. YMMV of course or YTMV (your thinking may vary)
I wouldn't mind hearing the plus and minus of having a switch. I don't see such a large difference to warrant a switch except that it is great to add things to our loved bikes and for sure there is nothing at all wrong with that !! - ?? My fuel mileage seems the same, usually in the 33 to 35 mpg range with the OEM panniers.

I think the downside is probably only that the bike will lurch forward when started in gearfender5803 said:

Yes you are missing something by not having a proper On/Off switch in place. With the Fuse in place you no longer have S ot T Mode, only SS Mode. It shows up on your dash but really, no change. By Turning the Proper switch Off, you then have all 3 Modes. Why. Because SS Mode is very snatchy at slow speeds, like while trail riding. So its nice to be able to go back to S & T Modes which arn't snatchy. ::001::
Yea, the switch is needed if you ride in all different conditions.
I ride on wet streets on K60's sometimes. T mode is my preference for being smoooooooth.

I stick with the KISSmethod. No switch and hardly ever find a need to remove the fuse even offroad. The control is in my right grip.
+2, it's all about throttle control. Initially, after adding the fuse, it thought the throttle was a bit abrupt but I've overcome that with more seat time and better right hand skills.NoMorBills said:

Ditto. As a matter of fact I haven't had the fuse out since install - once you get used to it, it's all about feel. I got used to riding the VFR where the VTEC would engage mid-corner - you just need to know what's coming. No biggie IMHO.NoMorBills said:
After reading 30+ pages I figured I go out and get a fuse to try this out. All I have to say I do feel a difference it runs more like my old Vee did. Roll on the throttle in 2nd with traction control turned off in the front and just llifts right up. The bike really comes alive, it took the fuse out to try it again how was originally, but I have to say the fuse went right back in. Now I'm going to look for a microswitch to put in.
