there are ways to wire either type of switch (key on-contact closed or key off-contact closed) do you already have a switch?
ok what wires would i hook the key wires up to there are 3 from the motor, blue black and white, white to yellow is my kill so would the 2 wires be the black and blue?Hi Mike,
The key switches that are being described here do not start the motor. They merely prevent the motor from being started (by pedaling) unless the key is in and turned to the on position. They work pretty much the same as the kill switch except that they are a key switch.
To start the bike motor without pedaling or moving you would need a starter motor and a battery.
that is what i was looking for, clotho idk what opened or closed means, where do yopu get lights and a horn?I'm installing an electrical system on my bike and plan to have a key switch to keep people from starting the engine, turning on the lights, blowing the horn, etc. The attached diagram shows my current wiring, and what I intend to do.
