How to install killswitch?

Featured Replies

Hey good people! So I recently picked up an '89 Beta and what's missing? The kill switch... Why in the world would someone remove it?

Anyways, I have a kill switch (a cheap one from a bicycle engine kit) but lack the electrical know-how. I have taken pictures of the wires and many of them seem to be cut off. Can someone guide me in the right direction?

(PS: Sorry for the dirtiness! It will be cleaned shortly). :thumbup:

What do I do with these wires?

Also, one of the yellow wires is cut off. What do I do with it?

Two green wires are capped together and have a button on the bottom, what is this for?

There are other wires capped off:

Where do these two wires from the kill switch attach to?

Other random pictures if needed:

Isn't this the kill switch?

Can you start it and see what happens if you switch it?

Is it a switch or a pushbutton?

It's hard to tell what is what on a picture if you 're not familiar with the bike...

Thanks for the reply! When I push that button when the engine is running, nothing happens. I have to tinker around more...

I would phone or e-mail john lampkins and see if he's got a wiring diagram.

Where do the wires on the coil go to?? usually the kill wires one will go to the coil and the other earth onto the frame, so when you press the button it'll ground the coil and kill your spark!
