Kill Switch Issue
Posted: 07:57 pm Aug 05 2018
Hello, yesterday I was changing out the grips on my KDX as they were still the stock ones, which turned to be a lot harder than I thought due to the glue the factory must use and it being on the bars for 14 years, I accidentally cracked the kill switch in half. I thought I was able to put it back together with some super glue, but as I started the bike today it would kick over and then die within 10 seconds. When I pushed the kill switch it didn't have much pressure to it and tried to remember if there was a spring inside of it, which I believe there should be? Since it was broken, I cracked it open again and found no spring inside. I figure it must have fell out at some point the day before. I looked all around the street, which is unfortunately where I have to do any repair work due to the apartment complex I live in doesn't allow "mechanic work," but to no avail did I find it.
Anyhow, just wondering how easy it is to replace the kill switch as electrical is not something I am too familiar or comfortable with? I would hate to have to bring it to the dealer and get crushed on labor for something that seems quite simple. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks you!
