87sheerips Posted May 7, 2007 Report Posted May 7, 2007 Well went ridin the other day, and the kill switch worked until i was ready to put it away. I had a new switch, put it on but it still doesnt shut off. Im stallin it out for now, but im really stumped here. Any input would be great, this is weird! Thanks!! Quote
Bansh-eman Posted May 8, 2007 Report Posted May 8, 2007 its probly not grounded right... that would be my guess. Quote
JET 99 Posted May 8, 2007 Report Posted May 8, 2007 the kill switch with tether inserted is an open circuit.. when the tether is pulled out it closes the circuit... with one wire to electrical ground and the other routed how ever you installed... i went into the kill switch wiring on the light and k/s handlebar assy. when the switch closes it completes the kill switch circuit and grounds out.. eiter wire could be disconnected or a sh... connection is my guess Quote

Im going riding this weekend, at least it starts up for now! Maybe i have a short? but id think i would have problems with start up if that was the case. I will check all my grounds first... Thanks for the replies! Quote
