this POS

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

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

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
