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

The real question is, why didnt you lower the camera and see if the carpet matches the drapes?
