clip Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Similar tale here.Fell off Beta,me and the bike got trapped under an exposed cast iron water pipe that we play on,the bike was stuck on full chat in third gear,with the throttle buried in the ground,couldn`t stop it for what seamed like an eternity,but was probably about 30 seconds.When I got the bike out,there was no compression and it wouldn`t start,After stripping it,i needed a new barrel and piston.But after talking to one of the guys who races,he said that even with the magnetic kill,if your bike is stuck on full throttle,the spark plug acts like a glow plug and keeps on running,anyone else heard this?

greychapel Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I have seen bikes continue to run with the plug cap off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfc Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 The kill switch hopefully will have killed the bike before the handlebar has had chance to dig into the ground, so the engine will be dead before the throttel is wedged open! As soon as you let go of the throttel it will close, as the lanyard is pulled the engine dies and then when the bike falls to the floor it will not rev it's nads off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Exactly. I think these are great devices and should be universal, and as jfc says before it gets revving its cut off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snobbly Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Are they universal for all bike types ? I need one for my GG before I kill it or someone else, spending an awful lot of time dragging it out of bushes at the moment... Are they easy to fit ? I wont have a clue where to start !

sleazy p Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'm pretty sure all products have there limitation and this one wont wrap your bike in bubble wrap, think like this, if its saves you 1 snapped montesa rear mudguard then it's paid for its self 4 times over, I just cut my original switch out and soldered the magnet one in, lazy yep, but that's why I have a Montesa!!!

guys Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Are they universal for all bike types ? I need one for my GG before I kill it or someone else, spending an awful lot of time dragging it out of bushes at the moment... Are they easy to fit ? I wont have a clue where to start ! Yes they are universal and easy to fit.It replaces the original kill switch one on one. It's probably necessary to replace the connectors. When in doubt, ask someone for help to fit it. There should be a wiring diagram included with the magnetic kill switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck4788 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 I think I would parallel wire it in so I could also us the normal kill switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 why? You want to stop on kill switch simply lift top off magnet engine dies put back on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
