I_Ride Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 Finally tested the key switch and turns out that has been my problem all along. Can it be repaired? I would think that there is just some corrosion on it that is stopping it from making a complete circuit. How should I go about fixing it? Can't hurt it if I have to buy a new one anyways.............. Quote

I_Ride Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Posted September 28, 2009 yeah you cut it off your quad throw it away, get butt connectors and bypass it. its useless junk. But then someone could just hop on my quad and haul a$$. I think it would be best to try and keep it, especially if I ever wanted to sell it..... Quote
patrickkomar Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 Just install a sealed on/off toggle switch were the black box for the torrs use to be and just junk the key switch. Trust me if it failed now it will fail again and it sucks to have to walk/push your bike to the truck. Quote
fastbanshee8 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 But then someone could just hop on my quad and haul a$$. I think it would be best to try and keep it, especially if I ever wanted to sell it..... If someone wants to take your quad, a simple key switch isn't going to stop them. They can simply bypass the switch by splicing wires, and it's gone just the same. Quote
bakersfieldturbo Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 i got a used switch and key forsale ill do $40 shipped anywhere .. lmk i dont need it .. if they take my bike it was ment to get another shee lol .. Quote
popa_top2000 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 I would get rid of it all together. If someone wants your bike they will take it with or without a key. Im going to get rid of my key and run a tether kill switch on my drag bike, thats all the key I need. Quote
I_Ride Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Posted September 30, 2009 Yeah, I guess I could just go without a key, but I already ordered one...... Baker, I really appreciate the offer and I would have definately taken you up on it if I hadn't already bought one. Thanks anyways! Quote

Baker, I really appreciate the offer and I would have definately taken you up on it if I hadn't already bought one. Thanks anyways! Just another vote for "no key switch" . It is so easy to bypass and really isn't a theft deterrent. Ditch it and make life simpler. SP Quote
dajogejr Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 Another no key vote. But if you're stuck on one, motor city ATV I'm sure has one. He's on ebay and here, his name is Ray and goes by minkia38. I'd put a remote on/off kill switch hidden on the bike somewhere. I promise that'll deter a thief more than a key switch. Quote
