If anyone of you desides to use a CR style kill switch for your start button you need to wrap electrical tape around the handle bar first. This type of button grounds itself to the bars. It turned my steel braided brake line cherry hot . before i figured that out. LOL

so you guys are saying that you can use a Honda CR dirtbike killswitch as a start button on your 400ex? im sure with the correct wiring this will work on other quads, b.c i own a 300ex. How do you guys do this? i am very curious, b.c i removed my headlight/taillight. Now i am interested in removing most of the unnecessary electrics(lights on/off ; high/low beams; and the kill switch) please give a detailed description. thanks guys

I broke mine, and have been using a Honda CR dirtbike killswitch as a start button on my 400ex for 4 months, and have had no problems. Just rember to clean the contacts after a muddy ride.
