the kill switch on the 300 never work since I got the bike its the run type switch ud see on a road bike on and off.but the bike ran fine with the switch in on and off position..so I bought a new kill button the mx type.. so I went about fitting the new one..first I cut the two wires going to the old switch and crossed/joined them to see if it would kill the engine and it did not ..so I traced the two wires back to the ecu and there is another joint just before the ecu so I crossed and uncrossed um there and it still didn't kill the engine..so what do I do now?? I tried put the new swicht straight onto one of the wires going into the coil but the engine will only run with the button pressed so id need a normally closed switch for that method..so do I go and buy a on/off type switch and wire it to the coil. .. any suggestions????
 
so im getting no where with this switch so I need more help...this is what I have..uploadfromtaptalk1396794909009.jpgold switchuploadfromtaptalk1396794942762.jpgnew swichtuploadfromtaptalk1396794985826.jpgtwo wires going to the old switchuploadfromtaptalk1396795052881.jpgsame two wires going to the cdi, joint in two wires

That old switch is not a kill switch. That is your map switch (ignition curves). The black and green wires are the two you want for the kill switch.

the black and green were the wires going to the old switch I just cut um off the old switch then I joined um as a test to see if it would cut the engine with no success then I tried putting the black and green onto the new swicht notting happened that time either with button pressed/not pressed
 
so I need to get another on/off (map) type switch and the kill switch wont do unless I wire it straight to the coil..then why is the bike running without the map switch and still running when I cross the two wires going to the map switch even tried touching um off the frame to earth them..

What year is your bike? Let me look up the wiring diagram later this afternoon so I am sure I am not offering bad advice...
 
I just wired it straight to the coil and worked ..so what are the black and green wires doing that were going to the old switch I still do understand this ignition curves system

I just downloaded the manual. I'm going to eat dinner then I'll take a look at the schematic and get back to you...

The switch to the CDI box changes (advances or retards) the timing of when the coil fires. Same as moving the pulse generator to change spark timing. The effect is to change engine power delivery characteristics for different types of going - 'sun' on the switch for aggressive and 'rain' for softer.

so are u telling me the switch I removed didn't kill the engine it just changed performance.. or are u saying it killed it slower then just cutting spark straight away like a kill switch? ??

Performance, nothing to do with killing the engine.
 
oh! shi..t are u sure. then how do u kill the engine? ? and could I be down on performance without this switch? ? I find that hard to believe the guy I bought it off said it was a run switch only it was broken

the overall performance is pretty much the same with the map switch on or off, i guess without the switch it will be fixed in one state (either rain or sun) and that i cannot answer

rain mode is slightly tamer and puts the power to the ground better, and sun mode is more mx type of power, quicker revving and sooner (these are mild changes so dont think it will be like comparing an xr200 with a cr500!)

how would one tell if the map switch was working correctly. .?? just ride and feel for changes in performance? ? im going to rewire the switch back in anyway just to try it again. .any suggestions in how to test it will be appreciated. .
