letsgetthisdone Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 I'm install a killswicth on my shee and was wanting to know what to hook it up to to be able to remove the key and on/off switch. And what do you guys do with the tors connectgers when you go to bigger carbs. thanx. Quote
thegroup Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 if u know how to, just cut them out of the system and remove the little black box on the frame that is under the gas tank. if u dont, just set them aside and still get rid of the box Quote
letsgetthisdone Posted March 30, 2006 Author Report Posted March 30, 2006 OK, but where do i hook up the killswitch. The instructions are so damn vaque. Quote
crazywheelerman365 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) One of the wires goes to a ground on the frame and the other one goes inside the on off switch ..As far as the key switch , just snip the wires and re-solder them ..As far as the tors.. Just remove all that crap , you dont need it , Just unplug and go.. Edited March 30, 2006 by crazywheelerman365 Quote
Fastrat Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 Best way to hook that switch up is to run a splice off your stock kill switch wires on the CDI side of the circuit. The only thing that switch does is ground out the CDI, which kills your spark. Get a wiring diagram for your shee and trace the wire back from the kill switch. If I remember correctly, it's the black wire with a white stripe. Run one side of the switch to that wire, and the other side of the switch to a good ground on the frame. I hooked up the same switch on mine. I have aftermarket carbs, and got rid of all the tors crap. Quote
Old Two-Smoke Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 Wow that seems like a lot of work, cut splice etc. Just hook one wire to ground pull off the orange wire on the coil put a double end on it, and plug your kill switch wire right on it. No cutting no splicing takes all of about 5 min. Quote

Fastrat Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 I don't think it's any more work to do it properly than to rig it your way. Take a look at the factory diagram and you will see that Yamaha designed the kill switches to ground out a completely different part of the circuit. Also, there are connectors that do not require cutting, they clamp over a wire and splice into the insulation. I thnk it would be beneficial to maintain the current structure of the circuit, there's a reason Yamaha engineers designed it that way. My way, it's one splice and connect a ground. If that's too much work, maybe a four-poke would suit you better. Quote
