black is a hot wire, it needs to go the red/black wire, and the white is a ground, it needs to go to the brown/green wire, i dont kno much about the maier kill switch, i have a gunner myself, but does it have a grounding clip, if so make sure that is grounded to the frame, tell me about how you are hooking it up, and where to

It sounds like you have the wrong kill switch. Maier sells two types, one is for a normally closed circuit and one is for a normally open. The normally closed type are used on most ATVs that have a battery and that is the one you need. If you install the other type on your YFZ it will work in reverse. I believe you still need to loop another wire to make the killswitch work on the YFZ. Mark Baldwin sells a kit to make it easier.

my 04 r went to honda for 1st service & I asked them to hook up my pro design kill switch. They said I had intermitent sparked & it wouldn't work correctly. Do I have the same problem - maybe I was sold the type?
