gbody Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 Hey guys I was wondering if I could get some input on a little problem i seem to be having with my kill switch. Ive checked all the grounds ,traced all the wires down no cuts nor splices , all connections seem to be good. but for some reason it isnt working , when I first got the bike it wasnt working , I redid all the wiring on the bike and it worked for about a year now its giving me problems again , What I want know is basically is this a common problem with the banshee or is there some other way to wire it that it wo0uld work better ? any input is welcomed Quote

gbody Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Posted November 24, 2009 is it an aftermarket, if so, what wire is it spliced into? Its the original switch Quote
bansheesandrider Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) is it an aftermarket, if so, what wire is it spliced into? Its the original switch If I remember correctly, on the inside of the switch there is a metal tab that is supposed to ground to the handlebars. Make sure that it has clean bare metal and check over all the contacts in the switch for corrosion and dirt. Edited November 24, 2009 by bansheesandrider Quote

AKheathen Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 so, it's not shutting the bike down? it grounds to the harness. pull the switch apart, lift the red slider, and you can ohm it to the stator plug, if you don't immediately see the problem. just touch one end to the black (ground) wire and the other on the brass that the slider contacts. then, do the same to the black/white wire. it will tell you which wire has the problem, or that it's in the slider. may just need cleaned. i covered the slider in nyk dielectric grease, and it works great @ keeping moisture and anything else out. i originally had an icing problem, but they have been known to have a wire break where it's soldered on.
