LOL, I think its funny that whoever rigged your quad hooked the coil wires to the kill switch. I guess it works, but grounding the signal that is supposed to go to the coil doesn't seem like it would be good for the CDI, lmao! I guess w/o a diagram, how are you gonna know? Just find a wire that kills the engine and whatever. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

black w yellow is kill on mine. the coil has a big and small terminal. And the wires from cdi go accordingly big to big and so on. the regulator is supposed to be on the other side of stem from coil. Its a gray box with i think a gray wire.

Randy--

I was looking at replacing my oem switch with this:

So if you don't like that one, I'll give you mine for cheap? I like the idea of being able to shut off the lights and the push-button kill.

Ok.. Randy or any of u guys willing to take the hood off. How many wires come out of the rectifier. is it the Triangular one or the rectangular one? Does it have a plug connector at the end or just bullet connectors?

I've got everything else labeled (switch wiring etc.), I'm assuming the following of what isn't left to wire up:

Orange goes to "x?" on the rectifier - grey to switch - rest @ switch covered

Solid black on mag should be grounded with the rectifier & black/white stripe wires.

I'm looking on ebay and I can't tell if the rectifier has 1 wire or if its a shielded cable with 2 wires....?

My new pictures should be up. I have been thinking about how I can cover up my bare metal & and beautify a little bit anyway the quad w/o having to spend an arm & leg (meaning bead or sandblasting & then powder coating).

So I came up w/ using Herculiner (for those that don't know used for bedliner for trucks as a do it yourself instead of rhino lining etc). 1 quart cost $30.00 and recommends doing two coats so that's what I did. I have the frame and swing arm done as seen in the pictures and 1st coat on the axle carrier and still have a little more left in the can. I will have to buy another quart to finish off the a-arms, kicker and some other little things I have left but, I really like how it first of all should completely protect my metal parts from rust since I stripped and grinded all the original paint off and it will easily cleanup and finally looks a whole lot better and when all said & done will cost around $60.00 (2 quarts Herculiner).

To see how tuff it is I used a screwdriver after it dried for a couple of days and took a couple of good stabs at the frame and didn't even do anything to the liner so should last for a very very long time.

I have a bayou and a 250ex and I never use anything but the high beams anyway. So, I really have no use for the dimmer. I appreciate the offer though. I think it was gforce was the other guy that needed a dimmer (I could be wrong).

A push botton kill does sound cool. No confusing which way is on, lol.

Yep, that's the one.

Go back and read my posts. I explained everything about the wiring as simple as I can.

The orange goes to a switch. The wire coming out of the switch goes to the regulator and the dimmer. The wires coming out of the dimmer go to the headlight.

If you can take a 2nd look adn give me a run down on what the orange feed goes to and how many wires attach to the rectifier that would be a HUGE help!
