• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Tethered Kill Switch

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?

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!
