TWILES Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I bought a yz kill button thinking I could figure it out. I'm lost. Splicing both wires into the key wires didn't work. I thought it kept the circuit connected but it keeps it broken. I tried splicing one button wire into the key wires with an in line splicer and grounding the other and that didn't work either. I'm not good with electricity at all. Need help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 The proper way to kill a Banshee is to ground the black/white wire from the thumb switch. If you are omitting the key switch connect the red and red/black together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWILES Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I should've elaborated more. Every unneeded wire for it to run is gone. I read the electrical post and I don't have those wire. I do still have the lighting wires and voltage reg but coming from the cdi are the key wires and coil only. Is there a way to use the key wires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uman1030 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 you can buy two diffrent styles of kill switches/tethers normally open, and normally closed. To use the key switch wires as a kill you'll need the one that is closed circuit and opens it when pushed. (normally closed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWILES Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Thanks. That's what I figured. My friend wired up my pro design tether kill switch and he spliced one wire into a coil wire and grounded the other on my old banshee. Would that work? I don't want to do that but I'm curious.

uman1030 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 that will work but from what ive read it wil cause damage to the electrics, you dont want to ground the power. you could use the engine stop wire from cdi (black/white wire on diagram) to that switch then to ground for a kill switch when pushed with the switch you have or use the normally closed switch to both key wires as mentioned.

TWILES Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) I'll do that. If I can use this switch i'd rather. I don't mind buying the ones that flip back and forth but off would be on.. Thanks! Edited February 10, 2014 by TWILES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWILES Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Again, I don't understand wiring very well. I took a picture of a "drag" harness that was on eBay a while back to compare what colors I could see to what I have. Low and behold, the two wires coming out labeled kill switch are black/white and black. Thanks again. Too cold in the garage to un tape the whole thing and start over. I'll get it tomorrow. I'm grateful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 if using a dirt bike kill switch use the black/white stripe and a chassis ground. the red/black needs to be grounded to run. ( key switch) the lighting wiring and regulator are all separate system to the ignition even the stator is seperatley wound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
