Replacement ignition switch

Replacement ignition switch to fit all 1967 - 1976 Moto Guzzi V700, V7 Special, Ambassador, 850 GT, 850 GT California, Eldorado, and 850 California Police motorcycles. The design is very similar to the original ignition switch. In fact, a top-nut from an original loopframe ignition switch will fit the threads on this switch perfectly! Fits in the original location within the original dash or police bracket. Supports the wiring needs for both civilian and police models. Accepts female spade terminals. I will fit the required terminals to any harness you purchase from me.

Switch has four positions

  • Position 1 (Key rotated fully counterclockwise)
    • RUN position
    • Second best position for running
  • Position 2 (Key rotated 1 position clockwise from fully counterclockwise)
    • OFF position
  • Position 3 (Key rotated 2 positions clockwise from fully counterclockwise)
    • RUN position
    • Best position for running
  • Position 4 (Key rotated fully clockwise to the momentary spring-loaded position)
    • START position
    • Applicable to V700 models only
