Engine Stop Kill Switch Control, Engine Stop Switch Durable Stable Performance Portable for GX390 Engine

Product Information

Many modern ATVs come with a so-called operator presence detection feature that registers whether the driver is present on the bike or not. When the vehicle detects that the rider is not present, it will alert the rider with a sound or display message. So in that respect it doesn't matter how you turn the bike off, the ECU doesn't get unpowered abrubtly.

The essential controls of an ATV include the handlebars for steering, brake levers to stop, a throttle lever to control speed, and various switches for operating the lights, winch, and ignition system. PARKING LIGHTS ON: After starting the ATV, the switch will return to this position where only the parking lights and taillights are on. Without a well-running ignition system, there’s no way to start the car. With this switch, you interrupt the flow of ignition by adding a break in the wiring. To install it, you must cut the ignition wire and put a connector on each side, installed into the switch. You can route the switch itself somewhere secret in the vehicle’s cabin, where no one can see it. Whether the ignition key or the switch turned the power off, it keeps that relay powered on (via pin 86) for several seconds, giving itself time to "shut down" properly.

Variants of Kill Switches

However, the installation of this device is a little more complicated. If you aren’t familiar with your ignition system, you want to look at the diagram in your service manual. You must cut the right wire and you may also prefer soldering the connection for a better fit. 5. Fuse Box Kill Switch Solid-state systems: the more modern option, these systems use a tiny transistor in the coil or armature to close the electrical circuit that travels through the spark plug lead to the spark plug(s). If you’re curious why ATVs come with a thumb throttle instead of a twist throttle, you’ll find the answer in this post. Hand and Foot Brake This switch is installed on the battery, just like the wired version. With the use of magnets, the switch allows the use of the battery when you want to drive, and turns it off when you are protecting your car. However, you are going to run into the same memory issues that were found with the last battery option.

For active or high-speed riding, it’s good practice always to leave one or two fingers resting on the brake lever to reduce reaction time and stopping distance. The other fingers should maintain the grip around the handlebars at all times. Foot Brake Press the brake pedal down with your foot to apply the brakes. Once the engine is running, the flywheel keeps rotating, the magnets keep passing the coil and the spark plug keep firing based on a specific timing. In this guide, we cover the five types of automotive kill switches, so you can determine which is best for you. We also look at the total cost you can expect. What is an Automotive Kill Switch?

When you start your lawn mower or small engine, you turn the flywheel and its magnets pass the coil (or armature). This creates a spark. The ignition system coordinates the timing so that the spark will ignite the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber just as it reaches maximum compression in each engine cycle- thus, maximizing the engine’s power.
