Default Wiring Question

Hello everyone how are you all today?
I have a wiring question...

First off I have a grubee skyhawk. Been riding it for over a month now. Everything is great and
I'm having fun riding it. Gone through 4 tanks of gas now. No problems.
I've reached a max speed of 28.6 mph per my GPS.

The CDI has 1 black and 1 blue wire
Engine has 1 white, 1 black, 1 blue wire
Throttle Kill Switch has 1 yellow and 1 green wire.

The way I set up the wires:

CDI wires connected to engine wires. Black to Black and Blue to Blue wires are connected.
Kill Switch yellow wire connected to white wire from engine.
Kill switch green wire grounded to bicycle frame.

Is this setup correct? So far it works fine for me. But I looked at various wiring posts but
they dont seem to match my setup. Is my setup wrong or prone to long term/unexpected
damage in the long run? Suggestions?

My kill switch works fine too. I was wondering...is there any other way to shut the engine off besides using the kill switch? Currently I can turn off the engine only via kill switch.

Your wiring is fine. You can also kill the engine by choking it or stalling it out by not pulling in the clutch at a stop. Not sure why would want to do something other than the kill switch but it will stop the engine.

Your wiring is correct. Here's a diagram that shows two different methods but either will suffice.
Enjoy, ride careful and have fun.
