old video i know, but anyone watching this, dont ever ever ever use scotch locks (the connectors he uses) they are nothing but a problem waiting to happen, anytime i work on anything at the shop and it has those connectors i cut them out and rewire them.
I bought my son a new syx moto 50cc bike a few weeks ago. It has this red safety kill switch but when we pull the red top off, it don't shut off at all. We been pulling the plug wire to kill it everytime. He barely wants to ride anymore cause of this. Any ideas why it won't kill it when we remove it?
I have a raptor 700r if I add this kill switch and I’m out riding and someone tries to take my quad by pushing me off and I pull the lanyard kill switch would they be able to re start the quad if I still have the kill switch ?
Hi, i'm confuze with my switch as I replaced the old one with the plug only but this one now only works if I actually press the button and keep pressing constantly or remove the plug?
Hi. It's sounds like your old switch was closing the switch in order for it to start. The new one sounds like it opens the switch to start. Which is how the one works in the video. The best way to tell is to take the new switch out of the equation, just take the 2 wires and twist them together and see if it starts. My guess is it will start. Then undo the 2 wires and try and start it. Then it probably won't start. Let me know what that does, if that's what happens then that has to be wired differently from your original. Like you said it's the opposite.
@@AdamzGarage that is exactly what is happening! Today I removed the plug swith and the rest I removed the welding and welded my old switch that is exactly the sane on the plug part there was no button on the old one, if i press the switch I xan herd the click sound from the starter relay and i can start the bike but if I remove the buton/plug it stops there is no power so I try and connect the spring button onto the old switch and it doesn't work? I mYbe have a power cable and the switch is for a hearth or something I'm realy confuze on whats going on the old switch is fine but the new one doesn't have it in any way, swaped the cables, swaped the plug switch etc nothing makes it work with the press button now...
@@Ricardobikelife yeah. The new switch unfortunately sounds like the contacts are open when the cap is on and closes when the cap is pulled off, what that does in the video is it shorts to ground and shuts the Atv down. Sounds like your old switch is closing the set of wires in order for it to start. Your old switch was just making and breaking power so you could start it. I'm assuming yours is electric start. The only way to get the new one to work as a kill switch would be to find a wiring diagram and find a way to short the spark to ground.
@@AdamzGarage yes mate is a ekec5ric start Raptor 700, 2014 model. I got 2 buttons one i play with it removed parts etc and try to conect my old plug buton to see if the spring button was going to work connected on my old plug button but no
There usually called T-taps depending on the manufacturer. You can usually find them at lowes or home depot. www.lowes.com/pd/Utilitech-20-Count-T-Tap-Wire-Connectors/999956682?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-elc-_-ggl-_-LIA_ELC_106_Tools-Wire-Connectors-_-999956682-_-local-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286981&gclid=Cj0KCQiA0eOPBhCGARIsAFIwTs6dEsEJt7eGFxEKYwiWtPqZRnZDGE_h1Zx3LkTAaptAQEFeowF0_4saAtfiEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
It's hard to say. But more than likely it would work. The most important thing is to make sure it's wired in the right place. It helps to have a wiring schematic for the particular quad. If your replacing a bad kill switch, make sure you order the right kind of switch. They come normally open or normally closed. Hope that makes sense.
