    Keyed ignition

    Is it possible to put a keyed ignition on a 84 200X. I would like to have one because im worried some trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro kid is gonna jump on it when im not lookin at someones house and take it for a spin. And as antitheft device.

    Do you know what a tether kill switch is? You pull it off and take it with you. They cant start it unless happen to have another switch cap that fits.

    the black wire on the left handle bar control is the one that you should use to wire in a key switch or tether ( or a toggle switch for that matter ).
    i think if you was to use any other wires to shut it down you might run the risk of screwing up the c.d.i. box .

    He is talking about the type used on a snowmobile. I had one on Arctic Cat that I sold this spring. They are only about $12-20.

    my friend has a tether switch on his banshee, we started it without it because all it is a button, you just have to push it in, you can buy a small key from a hardware store, for like 20 bucks, just wire it to the same wires as your kill switch, just put it somewheres on the bike that isn't really noticeable like behind the headlight, or under the gas tank or something. that's what i'm going to put on my 200x. my friend's banshee, has the same thing, i have one on my 185s too. and i know a few others with banshees that have it also.
    Caution
    Do not "POP WHEELIES" and run for any distance with the ATC. The oil capacity is relatively small and the oil will drain out of the oil pump area thus causing loss of oil pressure, resulting in costly engine damage -CLYMER

    I believe this is what TimSr is talking about, I use these on all my bikes and you take the tether with you like a key if you want to keep people from riding your machine.

    You are correct that is what Tim Sr was talking about. How ever I wouldn't pay $9.99 for shipping on something you could ship Priority Mail for less than 1/2 of that.

    This are made to mount to the handlebars. They are required for racing. The idea is you hook the other end to yourself, and if you unexpectantly exit the bike, it pulls the cap off and it kills the bike. The easiest way to hook them up is to ground one wire of the kill switch to the frame, and hook the other to the input wire to the coil. This input to teh coil wire is usually on a spade connector, so all you have to do is stick the bare end wire in the spade connector and then plug it in. No soldering or splicing required. When the cap pops off the coil input is grounded, and you lose spark.

    i was gonna just leave the switches alone but reroute the ignition wire. Leave the light switches where they are.
