They used to put those things on the backside of the oil tank and if it's a "normally closed" switch, you should be able to jumper it out. But, I have never disabled one of the switches. I've never had anyone that had a problem with one. As far as I know, it's a safety switch so that the engine does not "run away" if the bike is dropped. I've seen plenty of Sportsters do this back in the days when we rode them in the woods. Drop the bike and the engine would scream wide open for a short period of time before it quit. The old Sportsters (69-70) with the Tillotson carb was the worst about it. That carb had no float bowl and would run in any position. They use the same design on chainsaws.
