I have come across with some cops while riding and I am trying to shut the engine off using the kill switch but it does not work. It is supposed to be shutting off the engine when moving? My Kill Switch only works when bike is at a dead stop.
I've yet to see a "one wire" kill switch. Yes, there's only one black insulation coming from the switch but there should be two wires (conductors) inside it. Colors vary from kit to kit the most common being green and yellow. Take a look at the diagram below and wire your engine like it shows. If you use the bike frame instead of the black wire you have to have a good electrical connection between the engine case and the frame with no paint, rust or rubber between the two. If by some chance your kill switch is indeed a single wire device then I have to assume the switch is supposed to be attached to the handlebars with a good electrical connection and in which case, the single wire would be spliced into the blue or white from the magneto.Please allow me to ask a dumb question. but first the facts. Hello and cheers! Im new. My kill swich fell apart in many peices the second I touched it. cheap plastic and old. FINE! but... theres only "ONE" wire. Am I to assume that this kill switch is using the handle bars to make connections? Ground? I would get it if Ihad two wires... So, i have never had a ride on this bike. Boo. Super cold... Im only grapsing concept.
Can I ride Saturday? Can I touch this BARE wire to handle bars to cut motor? The above idea is damn smart but I just wana ride a few and not go to the shop and delay.... Ideas? Thanks you, Beers all around I think!
