handlebar cleanup?

[sha_rob_27]

some of you guys probably have bike killswitches for starters and I was wondering what model or what you used to do it. Also I was wondering what tether you used cause I have heard that pro design doesn't work? anyway thanks for the help!

[HiperEX]

I have the kx killswitch wired up to the stock starter button wires the kx one works the best i think because its supposed to be water proof and i have a prodesign kill switch wired to the coil

[csimp3]

hey hiper, i have read that the pro design that wires to the coil is bad for you bike, be careful with that, dont wanna fry your electrics

[05Z400rdr]

where i got my z400 set up, the shop said they were going thru their 4th pro armor kill switch on my friends yfz due to electrical problems. so, i got, what they said is better than the pro armor, is Pingel kill switch which i really like...

[rh250r]

I'm using the pro design and have not had any problems with it.

[HiperEX]

no problems with mine i wired it just like many other people did on a differnt site ive herd you can wire the pro armor switch right up the the stock killswitch wires

[sha_rob_27]

i have heard good stuff about pingel...i think i am going to go with a kx killswitch and and a pingel teather...thanks a lot for the help guys...oh and if you want to post pics of your setups, that would be cool too...

[HiperEX]

you can kinda see mine here.oops kinda cut out the starter button but u can see i have the teather inbetween the clamps

[05Z400rdr]

heres my Pingel kill switch (its on the right side)

[Baracudaaa]

If you go with Pingle and use the wires from the stock kill, make sure its an N/C switch. IF you use a Proarmor, which is a N/O switch, dont mount it to the coil wire, instead use the tip over switch. There is a black and red wire coming out of the tip switch, do one wire from the Proarmor to that, and ground the other and you are done. Thats what I did, works perfect.
For the starter, I used a CR450 kill switch, once again, works perfect.
Here are pix of the Proarmor mounted to my Houser stem, and a pict of it on the bars. Hope this helps you out.

[HiperEX]

baracudaaa what bend bars are those cr high?

[05Z400rdr]

baracudaaa, also, how did you mount the lights in front of your gas cap?

[sha_rob_27]

yah guys that helps me out a lot, i have one other question though. What do you do with the choke/throttle cable that is hooked to the stock kill?

[Baracudaaa]

The bars are a regular CR bend, not the high bend. Its a +1 stem and I didnt want to mess with the cables.

Here is a link to the dash ligh mod, hope they dont block the link.

If they do, just do a search for 'Dash light' mod on the other LTR sites.

For the throttle advance cable, you can either take it off all the way back to the T/B, or just cut it as close to the spot as possible. Again, do a search on the other LTR sites and it will come up with a 'how too'.

[Baracudaaa]

I had a feeling they would block the link!

[HiperEX]

what i did with the choke cable thing was put a dab of silicon on teh end of teh cable and housing then taped it up adn hid it under the hood, just if i had to put it back on if i sold it ever

[sha_rob_27]

that is a good idea, i think i will probably do that...thanks again guys

[Matt102]

For the choke you can buy a hot start plug for a yfz450. It screws right in and looks factory. Just remove the cable assembly and put the little spriing and piston thingy back into the hole and screw in the hot start plug. I ordered mine for an 06 yfz. Dont know if it matters though.

[sha_rob_27]

i will look into that, thanks for all of the help with this guys...

[HiperEX]

ive been told that teh yzf hot start button thing will not work on the ltr

[Matt102]

It does work. I'm 100% positive. I have it on mine. And it only costs 4 bucks. You just have to make sure to put the spring and piston thing back in b/f you screw the plug in or else it will act like its on choke all the time. Works much better than just stuffing your cable underneath the plastics.

[schl48]

sure u will !

[sha_rob_27]

hey guys, i dont like to bring up a dead thread, but i was wondering what you did with the wires that are hooked to the clutch when doing all of this...I got new cables for throttle and clutch, new brake lines, a crf killswitch and a pingel teather....so i just need to know if i should just sauter some wire in there and make it longer or what...thanks again for the help guys!

[bigbadbubba]

mine are cleaned up pretty well

[sha_rob_27]

what did you do with your clutch wires bubba? i am still trying to figure this out, i cant find any answers...

[bigbadbubba]

theres one that you dont need, the one actualy running to the clutch is the only one you need, just unplug the other one.

[blholtz]

Can anyone supply me with the part # for the hot start plug for a YFZ 450. The dealer in ny area is a little slow in the research of parts, unless of course I give him the Proper part #, or it just jumps out of the parts book at him.

[05Z400rdr]

look at www.rivaracing.com or www.ronnies.com and look under the OEM parts/diagrams....
