how do i hook up my kill switch?

[660bigdaddy]

now that racer productions is checking kill switches at the gncc's, does anyone know which wire i use to hook up mine?

take the ground to the frame somwhere. take the other wire to the pure white wire on the bottom set of wires coming from your CDI box!

So? you are saying to ground the wire feeding the Magneto which looks to me like it leads back to the CDI box and is on the primary side of the coil?

DO NOT ground it like that u will burn up your wiring harness seen it first hand at gncc race this weekend u have two options

first buy the baldwin motorsports wiring kit give them a call its pretty cheap

or do wat i did remove the starter/light/kill switch on the left of the handle bar then buy a yz dirt bike kill switch to hook up as your starter butter then hook your teather switch up to the wires that use to go to the old kill switch assembly any questions let me know

wow
someone with some smarts
I have another option. get a pengel N/C switch witch is made for ignition kill switches, and wire it in series with your factory off button.
do it with water proof connecters that are avaliable at any parts store.
works great. and no dead battery problems

We have come to learn that standard tether-cord kill switches do not work on the Yamaha YFZ450. They require a wiring harness. We know of one source of the kill switch for Yamahas: Earlywine Racing. Call them at 606-883-3098 if you shop doesn't have what you need. When was this learned and my sons was hooked up by the dealer we got it from it's a pro design. Should we not use this?

hey xcyfz450,

this is what we are doing on my buddy's bike. does it matter which wire goes to what from the stock kill switch to the newl switch? thanks for any info you can provide....don't want my quad to burn to the ground

After telling so many guys how to connect your kill switch to the solid white wire, this way is disabled when you install a vortex cdi.

So I've worked out a better way that works for both cdi.
Follow the wires up from the oil filler plug (four wires) to just before the first connector (under the hood) the wires separate into pairs.
Pick the white/red pair and splice the longest wire out of the kill switch into the white wire and the short wire from the k/switch into the red wire.
No need to earth any wire.

Good luck, Geoff.

will that work because and kill switch is a closed loop and makes its connection when its pulled off
