Oset Lanyard Kill For Less Than


 Share

Recommended Posts

Being tight, I didn't fancy paying £20+ for a kill switch for my lads Oset so did a bit of research....

You can get one of these on eBay for £1.99. From China, but came within a couple of weeks. Maybe worth buying a couple or three to given you some spare caps.

Problem is these are for a petrol bike, hence work the wrong way round. With the lanyard cap attached the switch is open curcuit, pull it of and it closes.

Strip it and it looks like this inside: -

You can buy a replacement button/switch that operates the correct way (i.e lanyard cap fitted holds the switch closed) on eBay for £1.47 delivered: -

A bit of soldering and you have one that operates the correct way: -

This is then quite easily fitted (2014 Oset 16R) by pulling apart one of the bullet connections that goes to the 'tank' key, attaching bullet connectors to the kill switch and connecting it in series: -

Spend another few quid on some cord and rings and you can make quite a good looking lanyard.

for anyone wanting a cheap magnetic lanyard why not use one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10W-Recessed-Magnetic-Theftproof-Window-Door-Contacts-Alarm-Security-Switch-Home-/371200205514?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item566d41a2ca

you need to mount it some how, can be in the tank cover ( maybe ) glue a penny to the top so the magnet sticks to it then you are good to go or not go :-)  I have not tried this myself so may not be suitable .. but just a thought as its cheap enough and can switch .5A 

 

edit:

  maybe this format would be better for mounting on the handle bars..
