Tether kill switch?

[GaZBur]

I use one off a jetski so it shoud be waterproof. Been on the bike for 2 years now. Go to the local marine shop. I found there was a kill switch in a nice blister pack for $25. Right next to it was exactly the same thing in a zip plastic bag for $12. There are 4 pins so you need to test which two (opposite sides) you need to kill the current but even I could work that out.

In NZ things that are not quite up to standard are often called "Micky Mouse" it is pretty much interchangeable with "cowboy".
For example:
Wharfy says "that plasterer who did my bathroom did a micky mouse job, I had to get him back to fix it" AJturbo replies "yeah ? sounds like he was a bit of a cowboy".

It's pretty safe to use in any company - except executives or lawyers of Disney Corporation, but being in the animation business you probably figured that out your self

It all make sense now Wharfy, thank you!

In fact, I am going to use the mouse cowboy analogy a lot from now on!

[johan]

well... if you don't plan on falling off, you wont need one!!!

or is it for your coach?... does he need it ???

It's for my 3-hour co-pilot

To tether him to the bike so he cant run away?

no.. you stupid boy !!!

it is really an electrical shock treatment line, if the other rider slows down too much, Johan can remotely electrocute him....
you know, a bit like that movie where if the buss slows down it blows up....

Connect to testicles. Viola, new Taupo lap record*.


*and you can guarantee he won't fall off

It would only work on those racers not married, otherwise it's a fuggin' long tether to that jar on the mantle piece.

I got mine from a marine supply shop. I figured if its desighned for boat use itll be able to handle a few drops of rain

anyone know the suzuki part number for the teather switch?

[johan]

I got my hands on a new switch and tried to install it tonight.

It turned out it work the opposit way I wanted it to. When the teather disconnects from the device, it closes the circuit.

What I need, is a swich that break the circuit when you separate from the bike.

Enough of this... I'm off to the pub!

Def the way to go, do not get any two pin sleeve together type. Standard Suzuki part for quad bike.

Got one! Then what? Fitting to GSXR1100K. Have no idea. Is it easy enough to do even if you're a ham-fisted gorilla, or best left to auto sparky or similar?

[puddy]

If it's not to difficult, and somebody can explain it, a mate reckons he'll be able to do it. Cheers.

Pretty straight forward - If it is a "normally closed" type just cut one of the wires going to the factory handlebar kill switch and use the new switch to "re-join" it.

Nah, you should be able to do yourself, just need a knife, soldering iron,solder, elec tape + make a mount for the tether switch probly.
As wharfey ses, its just a matter of looping into the +/- of the kill switch wires, so that when kill switch is 'on" tether is required to be plugged in to create continuous circuit.
