Installing the YZ killswitch as my starter and just need to know which wires to solder together. There is a thread in hear about the old yfz. But the R wires are different colours. Thanks

What I did was take the original starter/headlight/on off switch and followed those wires you will find this place where they both plug in. The one that has a black plug is the starter/on off switch. [The other is the headlights, if you want you can get a toggle switch for the headlights.] I cut the wires and connected it to the wires that go into the plug end. I dont know if you are gonna want a kill switch or not, but there is 4 wires that go into that plug in 2 of them are the ones that you can connect your starter to, and the other 2 you can hook up your kill switch to or you can just tie the 2 wires together and not have a kill switch. You can just follow the wires up to the original starter to see which wires are which.Hope that helps answer your question.

Could someone take a pic of this? I'm curious about doin it to mine. Have you had any troubles out of yours?

Sorry buddy camera is playing up at the moment. Its real easy though. All you need to do is pull apart the standard starter button and solder the two stop/start switch wires together and then solder the two starter button wires to the yz killswitch wires. Doesnt matter which wire goes to which. Then your done.

I just took off the stock headlight switch followed the wires. Then hooked up the yz kill to the starter wires and my killswitch tether to the other 2 instead of jumping them together. You need a normally closed style switch like Tusk to do it this way, doesnt work will any tether.

Anyone know or think it's possible to use a dirt bike style kills witch as your starter switch and another dirt bike style kill switch as your actual kill switch? And then for lights a toggle?
