Pro Armor Kill Switch

[Brandon Wallace]

Im takin my kill switch off my yfz to put it on my KFx. My question is what wire do I splice into?

[MtnEX]

DON'T...

Give Pro Armor their due $20 for the KFX450 tether install kit.

It's worth it.
You'll understand when it arrives.

Install kit trust me i have one just buy it.

[BEARAZZ]

think its the blue wire to your coil.. I tied mine in a couple years ago and still no problems.. just make sure u have a good connection and sealed up good

[Brandon Wallace]

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Buy a Pingle kill switch,it was made to work with the Kawi, Pro Armor works differently.

[MtnEX]

Not with the install kit...

The Pro Armor kill works with the KFX wiring with the install kit.


No BS splicing into the stock harness either.
Plugs in with factory plugs, literally.

I have the Pro Armor kill switch , it installs easy with the install kit.I was told buy Hetrick and DRT race teams that the way Pro armor switchs work is bad for the bike,and Pindle kill switchs were made to work properly with the Kawi.There explaination was that the engine runs differently. Seems funny to me but this just what i've been told from the guys who build the pros bikes

Pingle or gunnar are the way to go with the kfx. I had a pro armor originally and it smoked my coil. The difference that keeps being mentioned is normal open circuit vs normally closed circuit. The pro armor is a normally open switch while the kfx450 operates on a normally closed circuit. I now NC gunnar kill switch. Very clear directions and 0 problems.

x2 with the gunnar kill switch.. the kawi's need a closed circuit kill switch that's all. i was gonna buy the pro armor and the install kit..but at 40 bucks for the swtich and another 20 for the kit..thats 60 bucks or more for a kill switch...

The above is the CORRECT information!

The below is a different story...

The ciruitry IS different... see above... install kit needed!!!

Yep, the difference is normally open and normally closed.

Pro Armor's actual tether is NOT correct for the KFX for a normal install.

The install kit is needed for a correct install, which zero's out the problem.

I think the price worked out the same for me either way... or close.

I went with the Pro Armor + install kit though because it's a clean professional PLUG-IN install... no horsing around with the stock wiring and junk.
