Just did the final assembly after ripping off the 'black blob' and installed a CR Kill switch as a starter. My question is, on the new kill/starter switch, I had to ground 1 wire to the bars for it to work and was wondering since its grounded, am I sending current thru the whole bike frame each time I press the button? Just curious, dont want to fry any delicate electronics. Is this what everyone else is doing?

Oh yeah, for anyone else going to do this, you CAN NOT wire up the new switch with either of the 2 wires going to either of the 2 orange wires off the old wire bracket. I found that if I installed it 1 way(backwards), it would keep the starter cranking after the bike was started, but once you reverse the wires, the starter will stop after the bike starts. Just some $.02.

i am going to have to read that a couple times for my slow a$$ to understand..
i was planning on using the cr type kill switch also....
what color wires on the switch to what color ones on the bike? or are they two identical orange wires on the quad?

I used a KX switch and it worked perfect. I used this picture that I got off here a while ago. Absolutely no problems with the wiring. Also I just taped up the wtre for the lights as I'm not planning on using lights on this bike.

Zuki183, that is the diagram I used also, worked perfectly. There was a green wire on the CR kill switch that had to be grounded to the bars for the starter to work. I ran it all day at the track with 0 problems yesterday, so I must have done it right.

Good deal! The KX switch only has the two. Well now we all know!

I have tried using CR kill switches as starters on 2 seperate occasions and it has never worked for me, usually the switch just shorts out for some reason. Im not using a KX style on mine and my friend is using a KX on his YFZ and they are working flawlessly. So I guess the moral of the story is, buy a KX and you wont have any headaches from it down the road!

i would recommend using the diagram zuki183 has and using a kx kill button mine works flawless.

i just received my cr style kill/starter switch and it has only two wires...

ok i am lost because you guys say hook it up to the orange wires but the diagram says the orange wires are the on off switch and that the starter wires are yellow/black and black so wouldn't those be the ones i need to hook into? thanks.

easy to figure out. touch the 2 orange together with the bike on and in netural if the lights lite up there the on and off if the bike trys to start there the starter.
