Morm look at my second post above

Take this for what it is worth.
First, I thought I had an old switch, as I wore one out.  I don't.  Modifying the switch would be my preferred method.

Wires on the back of the switch are: (Same on ALL years as far as I can tell)
Red - goes to battery
Orange - connects to Red when switch is ON

Brown - goes to tail light (& license plate light on some years)
Gray - goes all over the place.  This is a power source after running through other things.

ON- connects Red/Orange and Gray/Brown (this what powers the tail light in the on position)

PARK - connects Red/Brown - the culprit

Disconnect switch.  At the molex connector for the switch, cut the brown wire, hook it up to the Orange wire.

I think that will work.

The back of the molex has TWO Brown wires.
When you open the switch, you will see that one mounts next to the red wire and the other mounts next to the gray wire.  Cut the one that mounts next to the red wire.

The one on the top in the foto.

Correct.  When in the ON position, bottom brown hooks to gray.

Tacopimp,

youzguyz has it. The TWO brown wires are not shown in Clymers or Suzuki's  manuals, just one wire. Makes all the difference.

does the light for the license plate still work? and does the year of bike make a difference  . mine is a 2008

thanks, will work on it asap. 2 batteries down the drain .
