Fitting Kill Switch

Hi Anth,

Have you been practicing at Charltons again?

The 2000 TXT has Kokusan ignition fitted. There is a low tension wire (not the HT lead) exiting the ign coil under the petrol tank, usually black. Trace this wire as there should be a spare parallel connection for the original kill switch somewhere.

The kill switch will be a single or dual wire switch. If a single wire switch, connect this wire to the spare parallel connection on the low tension wire coming from the coil, Do not disconnect the low tension wire from its present circuit. The kill switch is there to short out this wire to ground. If a dual wire kill switch, connect the other wire from the switch to ground.

A picture would be much easier.

Bye, PeterB.

hi PeterB, yea just getting back to the charltons after a 5 week break, due to drowning my bike there, & training for a coast 2 coast bike ride.

if i remember rightly, there is a single black wire coming from the coil area.

so if i get a twin wire kill switch, i solder one too the black, & the other to the frame?

cheers anth

Hi Anth,

Yes, just like you say. But leave the black wire connected to it's original connection. You will just be connecting the kill switch into the circuit as a parallel connection leading to ground. (The kill switch will ground out the black wire going to the HT coil).

Are you still able to practice at Carlton Bank? Had good sections there. Good luck in the coast to coast.

Bye, PeterB.
