Could anyone fill me in on what I need to pull apart, cut, solder of otherwise mess with to fit a lanyard? The lanyard is of the normal Jitsie variety.

No cutting/soldering needed.

Trace your original kill wires back - one has an eye connector and is earthed to the frame.

The other goes to the CDI. It has a male bullet connector and joins to a very short wire coming from the CDI (black and white).

 

Your new Magnetic Lanyard Kill switch (if it is Leonelli, or Jitsie branded Leonelli) will have an eye connector - just swap with the one you take off, and probably a Female Bullet connector. Just grab a set of needle nose pliers or similar and "roll" the female bullet connector end a little bit, folding one flap inside the other. You want to basically turn this female end into a male end so it will fit in the existing connector on the GG CDI. 

 

it is a very very simple task. Insert your new "male" plug on the new kill switch into the female connector on the CDI, screw the button down onto the appropriate place on the handlebars and test.

 

NOTE: Be careful when reinstalling your fuel tank, that your throttle cable routing is clean, and free of obstructions, and the throttle tube and cable return properly. Seen a few WHISKY throttles from people hooking up the throttle cable with the fuel petcock or similar.

There are 2 wires that go to your original kill switch button......this is actualy just one wire that is cut in the place where your kill button is[the button connects the 2 pieces together when you press it and completes a radial circuit that goes from the CDI module to an earth point.....so you just need to cut off your 2 original kill switch wires and join your lanyard type wires to them with connectors or solder them etc[it does not matter which connects to which....any one to any one.

 

I think this is correct if you want your bike to run without the magneto on, and kill it with it on.

I ended up just soldering it in line. Job done. Thanks!
