Hi guys I have a 2002 dtr 125 it's a sweat little bike but I need help with the kill switch an ignition

It will start with out the key if the kill switch is on run but if you turn the kill switch of it wont

So for it to run at lest one of the kill switch or ignition had to be on the only way to turn it off is if the kill an ignition is off

Any idea on how to solve this problem it's hard to have a settle head when I can start with out a key thanks

sounds like someone wired the kill switch in parallel to the ignition somehow!

Thanks for the reply airhead I have friends that worked in bike shops for years an he is still trying to work it out a week later

Really need to get it fixed soon it can't pass an MOT like this

as a temporary fix maybe unplug the kill switch and just use the keyswitch?

Unfortunately I have been told I need both for the MOT or is this away round it ?

Got to agree with Airhead. The killswitch is just an earth to stop the coils from sparking.

What happens when you disconnect the kill switch? Does it work or not??

Thanks dirtyDT for the reply it's a problem for me at the moment lucky I have till March where I can legally ride it but I just need the MOT passed but just trying to find a solution

Unfortunately I'm not sure the person helping just did what he did an went confused but coming back round sat to have another look so I can try on sat thanks for the advice

Do you know of this is a way to pass the MOT or do you need the kill switch to work ?

yeah try it anyway but I would imagine that both have to work for the MOT, let us know what happens

Will do if I get time tomorrow I will try unfortunately I'm 16 an never done anything like this but I can only Learn I guess will do airhead

An it looks like when the old owner put a aftermarket headlight on this is where the problem had came the wiring was a mess

Yeah thats the trouble with old people, most of em are stupid...stay young

Aha yeah ahha the old owner was spending over 200 each service

Don't think he had a clue on what to do with the bike aha

Will the bike pass the mot if you remove the kill switch altogether for the test ? (Assuming the ignition works ).

my tracker passed without one

you don't need a kill switch for the mot, but if theres a switch there, then it has to work for the mot

Thanks guys for the extra help an thanks tomyqss for that
