I want to put a starter button on the 400. Not sure exactly how to do it. The stock button broke. I want to put an aftermarket push button on it. Also, is there anything i can do with the lights, i plan on puttin some frame mounted trailtechs on pretty quick. is it possible to run a toggle switch or something like that to operate the lights too? thanks for any help and info

You can use a dirt bike kill switch. I prefer the kawasaki KX style myself. Just follow the 2 wires from the started button, cut the wires and splice the wires in. I personally recommend you take the xtra time and soldier all your connections and cover them with shrink wrap then tape them up.

This is what I did for my old 300 when my starter button wasn't working right. I used a RM killswitch and it worked great.

I have this setup and as far as your lights I took the controls for the lights and mounted it on the frame under the hood

I have one of these starter switches and have not hooked it up yet. This will take away my off switch right. Then just shut it off with my tether?

Yeah I took off the peice with the light switches etc. and mounted my key on my frame below the front fender. I just used my key switch to turn mine off but your tether will work too.
