I'm pulling up the c42 code on my Suzuki c50t. How can I get around the code without replacing the ignition switch right now

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

A C42 is an error in the ignition system that uses a 100 Ohm resistor to prevent hot wiring the bike. The usual problem is a connection to the ignition switch gets loosened or broken so the resistance value is greater than 100 Ohms.

Lots more here. It is a known issue

Unless it is specified, you may have an uphill battle.

what was the ignition problem

Hey Kurama,
Has this bike been dropped on the shifter (left) side? I take that it won't shift up or down?...
... Do you mean check the shift shaft? (the shift fork(s) are inside the engine and cannot be checked without splitting the cases). the shift shaft may be bent...reply back..

There should be two small philips screws on each side of the bezel. Remove those screws, then turn the bezel slightly counter-clockwise (if you're facing the front of the bike) and if should pop loose and pull out.

check the coil the low side of it may have blown . get a spark plug tester to check it.

Odds are its your SET valve needing adjustment, have the codes pull on the bike. If it is the SET, you can remove the SET system easily or you can have it adjusted.

If you get a code.

The codes are as follows:
C14 - THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
C15 - ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
C21 - INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
C22 - ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE SENSOR
C23 - TIP OVER SENSOR
C24 - IGNITION SIGNAL #1
C25 - IGNITION SIGNAL #2
C26 - IGNITION SIGNAL #3
C27 - IGNITION SIGNAL #4
C28 - SECONDARY THROTTLE VALVE ACTUATOR
C29 - SECONDARY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
C30 - SECONDARY THROTTLE CONTROL UNIT
C31 - GEAR POSITION SENSOR
C32 - INJECTOR SIGNAL #1
C33 - INJECTOR SIGNAL #2
C34 - INJECTOR SIGNAL #3
C35 - INJECTOR SIGNAL #4
C41 - FUEL PUMP CONTROL SYSTEM
C42 - IGNITION SWITCH SIGNAL
C46 - EXHAUST CONTROL VALVE ACTUATOR
C00 - NO FAULT

c42 is the ignition switch signal, check the ignition switch. c41 is the fuel pump control.
