Rolled the ds450 this weekend and broke the stock start button/killswitch, was wondering what you race guys use in place of this to start up the your ds450's or at the very least does anyone have a stock start switch laying around theyre willing to let go for cheap?

You can wire in a Kill button from dirt bikes to start the quad ( I Use a kill button from YZ dirtbikes.) you will loose the headlights and the kill button though and would need to turn the quad off w the key or a tether switch.

If you are going to use a kill button as a starter I would recommend the Fly Racing waterproof unit. its about $30-40

find the wires that go to the stock start button and just tie the two wires from the new kill button into those wires, there is a third wire on the Ds450 that needs to be jumped into one of those two wires, its a black ground wire on the DS.

Any idea where that black wire is at?

yes that will work, but be careful about the cheap buttons, they dont last very long.
