First let me say that this forum is the most informative place I have seen in a long time.Great job guys! Now on to my question. I recently tried to put my pro-design kill switch on my 700 but kept blowing the main 30 amp fuse whenever I pulled the switch to try it out. So i took it to my dealer and asked the head mechanic. He called Kawsaki(supposedly) and they told him the system on the 700 is backwards from most other quads. They told him they would be developing a kill switch sometime soon but until then,nothing will work. So now I sit here out $40 for a switch that ordered from my dealer in the 1st place that they say won't work now. I know other have to be running a kill switch somehow,like team Green for example,but how is it wired up to work properly?Anyhelp would be appreciated.Thanks.

 

vtwin, i am in the same boat. my buddy is running the gncc race this weekend at rausch creek and we need to install the tether switch before saturday. any help would be great guys...

 

I'm racing my 700 at the race too, got my Pro Design tether, but have no idea how to hook up. I need help.

 

bump!

 

I can help you with the Prairie 650 but I need info about the 700 before I can help with it. I need info from someone that has a 700 or access to one, and a service manual with the wiring diagram. If anyone has both of these let me know and I can call you. If you are blowing fuses, it's probably because you are wiring the kill switch through the RUN switch circuit. This will ground out the battery and blow the fuse every time on the P650 and 700.

 

I used a relay for mine. Put it in the wire for the handle bar mounted stock kill switch. I used a normally closed relay. Hooked a wire to a grounding spot on the frame for the neg side on the relay and then hooked one wire from the pro design kill switch to the relay on the hot side. Then put the other wire from the pro design kill switch to the wire on the key switch that has no power when the key is off. Then when you pull the kill switch it activates the relay cutting off the power to the coils. The relay cost me about $2 from radio shack.

 

You don't need to use a relay for the Prairie, and probably for the V-Force as well, but I don't know about it without seeing a wiring diagram from the service manual.

 

I solved the tether problem. Very easy now. You need to take off you key switch, strip off the black blanket, and you will see 3 wires. Splice the Pro design to the gray wire, then ground it. Your done. Works every time I try it.

 

GE4X4,does this kill all the power or just stop the engine? You do go ahead and put the key switch back in right or does it do away with the key all together?

 

The key switch works just like before. You simply tap into the gray wire either on the switch or back at the cdi. The kill switch grounds the wire and "tricks" the cdi into thinking the ignition was turned off without blowing a fuse (unlike the RUN switch circuit). I don't know if it is the same color on the 700 because I don't have one.
