Bought a tether kill switch so that I may be legal to race the 1320 at a local dragway and come to find out it is wired reverse of what I need.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.jcwhitney.com/webapp/wcs/sto ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>After investigating I find that what is required for a motorcycle is a always on (when tether is attached) instead of what I got (always off with tether attached).<br><br>Does this seems confusing? Well apparently I have what is considered an atv kill switch and when the tether is disconnected aka rider falls off and is seperated from machine the circuit CLOSES! In essence the switch was designed to be in a circuit with an atv ignitor? whereby the kill switch grounds itself and closes the circuit.<br><br>This is contrary to what I need for the ignition switch for a typical motorcycle as I only need to OPEN the circuit when tether is detached aka rider falls off.<br><br>Bear in mind if your shopping for one of these critters.<br><br>Does anyone need the kill swicthes? I have of two of them. jjs777@yahoo.com please write in subject line EXUPBROTHERHOOD so I dont delete it. <p></p><i></i>

We solved this by interupting the common color low tension wire to the ignition coil, with a length of twin core wire connected to a male-female style quick click two pin plug, clamped to the h/bar. When the plug is disconnected, the low tension circuit is opened - this may not be the best way and is not the only way to do this, but it worked for me ( and still does 4 seasons later)...total cost $3 from RadioShack...easy!<br><br>NOTE - My t/ace runs a 'total loss ' style electrical system and very little of the standard igniter functions. What this will do to the igniter, if anything - I do not know!! I have never run this bike in 'stock' form<br><br>Im sure someone will have more information and ideas<br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :evil --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/devil.gif ALT=":evil"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
