installing a kill switch

[JOEX]

Splice the long wire into either the black and yellow wire coming from the CDI box or into the black and white wire coming from the stock kill switch. The short wire goes to a ground.

Good point That will be a cleaner look than this...

Should be the same way. How many wires does it have?

[JOEX]

Thanks Mike

It's not too bad but I have a few other added wires for the LazerStar lights under the fender. I used that split corragated tubing for most of them.I think i'll get some heat shrink tubing eventually.

I don't like those splice connector either, I just stripped and black taped them.

It doesnt matter which wire you put where. It's a simple contact switch. When you pull the cord off it closes the switch and grounds the ignition wire. My switch had two wires that were the same length, and only four inches long. I had to lenghten the wires to even reach the harness.


Jeepdude, thats pretty much what mine looks like, but instead of cutting the wires I just cut away the insulation with a razor blade and soldered in the new wire. But I have the tools to remove the pins from the connectors.
Youll be happy with the connections doing the way you did and wont have to worry about water getting in there and corroding the splices.

Maybe JOEX can put the photos in the FAQ section

Just to add to that, if you tap into the black white wire at the main harness coming down from the handlebars, You can tap the other wire into the GREEN wire in that same harness. This is a common ground for just about everything on the front of the quad.

If you do this right you can seal both splices with heatshrink tubing and then slide the harnesses main shielding back up into place. This way your slices are protected from the elements.

I would thiink that all two wire kill switches are installed the same.
The purpose of the switch is to short the ignition to ground and shut it off. Because of that, it really doesnt matter which wire you hook where (from the switch). Just so long as the ignition signal is grounded out when the switch is closed.( the cord is pulled out)

I installed a maier m/c kill switch on my 400 because it was readily available and less that half the cost of a prodesign atv switch. It gets the job done, and was less than $12
LOL besides, I'll probably only need it for one race

Actually Joe that don't look too bad there. The switch I bought didn't have any wire ends on it, and only came with two crimp on splice connectors I am not a big fan of that type of connection, as I have seen them lead to corrosion and broken wires. So I took the time to strip, splice, solder, and heatshrink mine. And I figured since I was there I might as well tap into a known good source of ground.

what kinda key is that your using jeepdude?
