Wanting to add emergency quick start button before I need to on my 07 Norge with nearly 50 K miles. I have the waterproof start button and double male adapter for the solenoid to wire to + side of battery button and wire direct to solonoid, but cannot seem to reach it under the fairing body.

Q: Must the side fairing be removed to access the starter? Is there an easier way? Never took off fairing body surrounding tank area.

Thinking of putting Amazon start button in place of the ABS button on fairing as I never turn ABS off. Looks like a direct fit. Just will disconnect and tape off ABS button wiring. *Seem reasonable or ideas for other spot? I know others have put it under the seat. Yes, already has "Startus Interuptus fix.

Thanks for any input..

Since you have the "startus interuptus" installed I doubt you will need that extra start button. However, you just need to get to the spade connector on the solenoid. If you can't so it by feel, then you will need to remove the side panel

That is what I was ocncerned with. I can't seem to get to the spade and need to pull the L side fairing back it seems. I already have the lower fairing and nose off as that is how I ride it. stripped down. Thanks.
 
Just pull 2 bolts it will slide back into the shifter to swing it out. There may be a cover on it also, can't remember.
I use a needle nose pliers to pull wire off, you'll need a 13mm box to get the big power wire off.
 
I'm trying to get to the solenoid spade connector to replace it with a piggy back double connector, one that goes to the relay and other to the aux start button I have installed under the seat just in case for emergencies. Should have been simple but it is not. Trying not to take off faring and take off starter to get to it without damaging it.

There is 2 screws to take off start cover, 4mm allen above & below, screws go in a stand off that hold ground wires to block. You should clean the connections once in awhile. Something to think about.
 
With the lower fairing removed you would need to remove the two 13mm bolts holding the back end of the upper fairing from the bracket. Then remove the cover mentioned with the allen screws holding it on. Slide it back, pull front out and remove. Use two long 3/8" extensions and a 13mm socket to remove the bottom bracket bolt that also holds the bottom of the starter. The top bolt I remove with a ratcheting 13mm combination wrench. Starter slides to the rear and pull front out. You will have easy access to your spade connector now!
