Installing a Hidden Kill Switch on a KTM EXC

I'm no auto electrician but this is an easy method to wire in a hidden kill switch on your KTM. Here in Australia these bikes don't come standard with keyed ignitions or even ignition switches. A hidden kill switch provides a small measure of security if you want to be able to leave your bike unattended for short periods of time.

Is this a waterproof switch?

[@majoo151]

Is it possible to start enduro with killer switch on but with the kick starter ?

[@zack7080]

The male end of the yellow/black wire goes to what part of the bike?

[@spectrepro]

Why not just simply cut and splice this to your kickstand sensor? Easy open access to the wires

[@Shmack_]

better off getting a posi tap making it easier

Bro awesome video! My question is .. is there a way to wire it so that the starter won’t even turn? Reason I’m asking is I’m trying to protect my Dirtbike from my alcoholic brother.. the idiot will drain the battery trying to start the thing like that..

Great video dude just did the same on my ktm 350 exc-f 2014 :)

i wonder if i can wire in a key ignition this way

[@stevenbooker2409]

Great video. If I'm understanding this correctly, you are picking up a ground signal from the brown wire on the 6-pin connector, and using the switch to send this ground signal onto the yellow/blue wire. If that is the case, why not just get the ground signal from any chassis ground bolt and leave the 6-pin connector alone. I.e. connect the black wires from the switch as follows: 1) to any chassis ground bolt, 2) to the yellow blue wire? This way, you don't need to go through the hassle of disassembling the 6pin connector. Let me know if I have misunderstood or if there is some reason why you need the ground signal from that 6-pin connector. Thanks and keep up the great work

Hey great video! I have a 2004 ktm 450 smr that I just bought a new led lighting kit for. The kit comes with a new light and horn and blinker controller but my old controller has my kill switch. While this new controller in the kit does not have a kill switch. Could I do this method and use the kill switch I install as the one and only kill switch and be able to turn off my bike when riding? Thanks

[@obedsolares]

Dude how did you install the on off switch. My bike came with some stupid cables and now I’m trying to re do it.

[@brendon8702]

What wire gauge did you use?

[@mackenziericketts6686]

Would this work on a 2015 ktm exc 500 Australia ?

[@peedonhobo]

I gotta use this because if I install a key I just feel like I would lose the key

[@diggler2002]

Can't believe there is no keyed ignition. I think this is a great idea for any bike. Not 100% security but better than nothing.

[@GeoffVentures]

Will you still be able to kick start it though ?

[@morpheusone7755]

That could be done with an ignition barrel an key to, I did one on a wrf on a little carbon fibre bracket and casing I made up

Can I put a switch on 2005 ktm 250 xcw? Thank you for sharing the video
