the 2nd worst thing honda built EVER

Post by 2strokeforever »

this POS
Image

i found a decent hill and halfway up it bogs and dies, try it again same thing
when i lean forward i press the stupid kill switch
it had me confused for a bit, my 125 had the same problem so i ripped it off, but on the 500 i want to be able to shut it off with my hands still on the bars

besides being easy to accidentally press its built worse than a kinder suprise toy
that thing belongs on a yamaha or kawi

does anyone know if one from a yama/kawi/suzuki fits without changing conectors
the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

I use the flat, red-buttoned Yamaha YZ kill switches on my 500 and my sons CR85. No connector mods necessary...just plug and play.

its not malfunctioning, try going up a steep hill and leaning forward ALL THE WAY with your head over the fender... BOWWWWWAAAAAA...... shit

i tried rotating it every way, and the only way i dont hit it is it if its aimed forward, so its disconnected till i get a different one
that thing belongs on a yamaha or kawi
ironic that those ones fit
Dose this kill switch look factory or aftermarket. :shock:


definitely honda, to test go find a steep hill and lean forward, if you almost go over the bars because the motor dies its honda guaranteed
the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.
