If I remember correctly the switch is undersized for the amp it carries. This applies to 90-91 as they rewired the setup in the 92+ so that the clutch switch activated a relay rated to carry the amperage. So you really have two options 1. Rewire with a relay in the ckt or use a higher rated switch for the clutch switch.

Or you could simply NEVER push the clutch in after you turn the key. Always push the clutch fully down BEFORE you turn the key. This keeps the the contacts from arcing. It's simple and effective. In my 15yrs of ownership I've never had an issue with the clutch switch.

I have not by-passed my switch but for emergency purposes I always leave mine in reverse in the event something else goes wrong I can always get it out in a hurry.
