Keyed bike

[WarriorAirman]

i want to put some kind of key on my bike to deter crooks from trying to steal my bike i was looking at maybe wiring it in lue of the kill switch. i was wonering if anyone had experience with this and might be able to help me.

Just install a hidden kill switch so a crook will have no idea why it isn't starting.

You can have the throttle kill switch and a hidden one.

Hopefully your bike is hard to pedal so they can't get away!

Staton Inc sells keyed kill switches.

I use ones from small 2 stroke snothrowers

If its a 2 stroke the you can put it inline with the positive magneto wire. If its a four stroke its a tad bit more complicated. I had a thread on it a while back. You need to wire up the kill switch with a relay so that when the key is out the relay is closed and completing the kill circuit and when it is turned on it opens the circuit. I used a 12 volt car relay with a 9 volt battery. Never had to replace the battery in about 7 months maybe more. I have a wiring diagram for the four stroke if needed.

How about poasting the diagram for 4 stroke that would be awesome............Curt

For a 4 stroke just run a ground wire to a kill switch and the other side of the switch to the top of the plug
