kill switch

[chan2010]

ive just got a new kill switch the one that is on the bike has got a green wire and a yellow wire but my new one has a black wire and a white wire which would be which on the bike as in would the black be the yellow wire and the green be the white wire ?

What you need to check is if you have the correct type of kill switch.

switch type a earths the signal to the engine out cutting the spark so should be open circuit when not pressed

switch type b needs to be made for the engine to run providing a path to earth and when is pressed breaks that connection.

As long as you have the same switches it does not matter as to which wire connects to which as it will either ground the circuit or make then break the circuit when pressed.

test resistance using a multimeter, if they both provide the same resistance readings pre and post button depression just plug in the replacement and test

exactly what i was going to say

[chan2010]

its a pull of kill switch so the circuit is open when the cap is on to push the button in then if you come of it pulls of alowing the button to pop up breaking the signal on the sale discription it said mx/pit bike kill switch i have seen them on pit bikes the thing never came with any info so im stuck.

ive got one aswell that i wanna wire up just need to figure out which wire relates to which i think the white could be the same as the yellow and the black could be the green j.i.m on here had one on a bike il see if he knows

theres 2 types of tether switch.

1st one being if you pull the tether it will break the circuit this can wire to a pit bike the same way as a push button kill switch.just connect the wires to the original connections on your pit loom.dosnt matter about colours.

2nd type pull the tether to make the circuit.this is wired differently on a pit.both wires from the tether switch need to go to the ignition coil.one wire on each of the spades.dosnt matter which way round.just tape up the old kill switch wires on the loom.

ok cheers well this one if you pull it of it kills the bike i got it for a bit more security as in no tether no starting not unless you mess with the wires by that time me and my dog will be on em

it dosnt matter which type of tether you fit.you wont be able to start the bike unless you have the lanyard part.

there both just as secure.they just connect to the ignition circuit differently.

j.i.m sent me this link to the same question he had asked exept he wanted to keep both switches i only want the tether so how would i go about it cheers

i told j.i.m how to wire in the push kill and tether switch so they work independantly.

you just wire your tether to the original kill switch connectors.
