According to the instructions I need to install the long wire to the "engine pulse triger wire on stator unit". I need to know where this is and which one it is. Surely SOMEONE has a Warrior with a kill switch!? Thanxx in advance PeAcE OuT yO![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I put a kill swithch on a friends 400ex. One wire went to ground, (we put it under a nut on a frame bolt). The other wire went to one side of the coil(positive). On your coil you should have 2 wires going to it. One is positive and the other is ground. Tie into the positive wire somewhere and you should be set. You can test which by taking a jumper wire and grounding the wires going to the coil one at a time. When it dies you have found the positive.

Another method:

Install tether switch by installing it serially into your existing kill switch wire. Basically, cut the kill switch wire leaving enough room to solder a wire back onto it. Connect one of the tether wires on one side of the cut wire and the other tether wire on the other side of the cut wire.

Hope this is clear enough.

Hey thanxx for the replies! Pardon my ignorance but what do you mean by coil? The Battery? That second idea sounds like a good one too!? I dunno ~ I guess we'll see.

One end of your sparkplug wire is on the sparkplug and the other end is on your coil. The 2 wires I am talking about are not the sparkplug wire but 2 small wires that should be under little nuts or something to hold them on to the coil. One of those is ground and one is positive. You need to tie into the positive with the switch. Or you could do like the previous thread, which ever is easiest.

Notu, that's what I was thinking. Wouldn't that be easier than installing it anywhere else? Plus, it would be right there on the handlebars, and you wouldn't have to run wires up from under the seat or anything...

Instead get some wire adaptors that are the same as one of the stock kill switch wires. Then soder those to the kill switch. Then just plug it in line. Thats what i did on my blaster and warrior.

I used to have a 300ex and when I tried hookin it up to the switch on the handle bars, I was blowin fuses. Now on my Dale I hooked it up to the + wire on the coil and it wasn't getting enough electricity for the plug to spark and it wouldn't start. Even after I "ungrounded" it, it wouldn't start. I unhooked it and it started right up. Whats up with that?
