Kill Switch replacement
Hello !
My kill switch is loose on my night train. I have to push it on the side to start and sometimes engine is shutting down while riding.
I want to replace it, can I replace just the button inside de case or do I have to change all the thing on the handle bar ?
Any tips is welcome
Thanks

I suggest you remove the control housing from the handlebar, you might just have a loose screw holding the switch to the housing.
You don`t need to replace the entire handlebar switch control, you can get the kill switch from the dealer or any number of aftermarket companies.

Thank you
I got the part
It comes with the 2 upper buttons (start and killswitch)
It comes also with long wires connected to it
I did not open the housing yet but I was wondering if I have to change the wires or if there is enought place to connect directly in the housing on the handlebar?

Thank You
I grabed the part on the way to work to have it handy its easy to return.
And if the switch was loose the contact would not cut by pressing the button sideways lightly. The switch would move. Its the button moving in the switch.
My question was do I need to change the electric wires that comes attached to the switch. Thank You

I`ve never been one to eliminate something rather than make it work properly, to each his own...

You`ll have to decide that when you open it up and see how much you have to work with in those close quarters.

Agree with that, but I've never had anything but trouble from a kill switch. People switching it to be funny, accidently bumping it, or even it being switched after I've gone down. I've never used one, so it's not the first thing I think to check.
