Did I wire my Kill switch correctly on my '94 Yamaha YZ125?

sounds like slide in carb is stuck open could possibly be in backwards if ignition switch is wired correct it should kill engine

Tricky one!!! Usually if the side stand doesn't kill the engine while in gear its likely a problem with the side stand kill switch. As for dim neutral light and indicator could possibly be a bad earth somewhere or a dodgy battery..... Or charging circuit malfunction. Check wiring to regulator and Generator Stator wiring.

just eliminate and cut off the wire to the existing kill switch the put any kill switch you want on it and take the main electrical lead to the ignition or what ever it is and put the new kill switch in the middle of the new kill switch you installed I did it before it always works just make sure to eliminate the old kill switch and its connections are no longer needed

First, get a new spark plug. Next remove the gas tank and check the small black wire running out of the coil. Is it plugged into a wire connector?. Check the spark plug wire and plug cap also. All connections should be snug and clean. Is the handlebar kill switch in the off position? Check the key switch wire connections. Check the neutral switch wire. I don't remember if the side stand had a kill switch or not. Check it out. I think it didn't have a switch. Check the battery connections. Check the wire coming from the points. Good connection? Run a fingernail file between the contact points to remove any pitting and foreign matter. Set the points to a .015 opening when the points are at full open position on the cam. These things are in the sequence I would check. Please rate my answer.

doesn't sound like it with bright headlamp. what about your kill switch? my kill switch wire broke while riding, did same thing.

Your existing kill switch, when applied, completes a circuit to ground. The tether does the same when the tether is pulled. You can tap it into the kill switch.

follow the wires to the side stand there should be 2 wires disconnect 1 wire either by the little plug or by cutting wire

• Do you see spark? If not, check the side stand kill switch. It kills the engine so that you don’t start out with the side stand down. If broken or out of adjustment, it would kill the spark. Check for a broken wire at the side stand switch and coupler. Try moving the side stand kill switch by hand. If that doesn’t work then wire a jumper around the switch to bypass it.
• Is the handlebar kill switch on? Is it shorted out?
• Are you getting power to the coils?
• Check the fuses. How good is the battery? Try a jump start from your car battery.
• Check the operation of the ignition switch and all kill switches with a volt ohmmeter. Check the wiring harness. Did a wire come unplugged? Are all wires clean and with solid connections? Any abraded or pinched wires? Is the bike in neutral and the neutral light is lit up? If no neutral light, check the neutral switch and neutral switch wire on center or side casing. If still no spark, get CDI system and coils checked at the dealers shop.

Previous owner may have had a problem w/switch and disconnected it. If your bike runs fine ignore the switch. If you want the switch to work try hooking it back up or buy a new switch

Check the fuses. Next, check for spark but with a new spark plug. How good is the battery? "Some juice" does not always translate into having enough juice for a spark. Fill the battery cells with water covering the battery plates. Jump start from your car battery. Is the kill switch on? Does the side stand have a kill switch? Is it working properly? Tip-over kill switch on your bike? Check the operation of the ignition switch and all kill switches with a volt ohmmeter.

Check the wiring harness. Did a wire come unplugged? Are all wires clean and with solid connections? Any abraded or pinched wires? Is the bike in neutral and the neutral light is lit up? If no neutral light, check the neutral switch and neutral switch wire on center casing. If still no spark, get CDI system and coils checked at the dealers shop.
