I think I remember it being said that that is not a good idea, I don't remember what thread it was but that's how I recall it. :-)

thats cool, i think i can just tie into one of the coil wires and ground it out to kill the engine....

Throwing my 2 cents in: To be honest I thought the killswitch to be a bit on the superfluous side. I mean You can kill the engine by choking it out or dropping the clutch when idling...yeah, how bout that

I use the clutch method...I don't "drop it" but I do let it out to kill them all.

Wait, can somebody clarify for me why they don't use the kill switch? I'v went the opposite route as alot of people on this forum, don't use the tension pulley and do use the kill switch lol

I bought an on/off switch from Radio Shack, paid less than 1$ if I remember right. I mounted it under the gas tank so it's not right out in plain sight. When I leave it sitting the switch is the off position. It is also easier to kill the motor while rolling right along.

to be honest iv never had a problem with the kill switch.
If it come with the kit use it.

I used the stock kill switch for four years until it fell apart, I am still using the stock no bearing tensioner....over five thousand miles on it with no problems.
