    Hello:

    I'm useless at electrical things, so I figured I'd ask here ...

    I'm assuming from the wiring diagram that the stock ON/OFF kill switch on my 630 is normally-closed (RUN position).

    My guess is that I could simply wire in a normally-open kill switch from the Br/W wire and ground? Maier makes a tethered kill switch that closes when the key is yanked out.

    Am I completely off-base here?

    Using the normally-open scheme will blow the 'M' fuse.

    Not too sure what you're trying to achieve here? Do you mean a tethered switch like on a running machine? ie you fall off, key pulls, circuit breaks? Why not source a normally closed item, then you could wire it in series anywhere after the ignition switch?

    Yup, a tethered switch that kills the bike when it goes one way and I go another. Required for ice racing.
    An N/C is the best way to go, but I was thinking about how to use an N/O switch I have on-hand.

    How's about something from the jet-ski market? Don't they have the same? And you know they'd be waterproof!
