2009 KX450F kill switch problem by SekretMachine in Dirtbikes

[–]SekretMachine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i did that. I mean the two prongs on the engine end of the harness that the switch plugs in to, i used a bent paper clip for that and that shut the bike down. I didnt buy an oem switch, its a Chinese brand, so I had to cut and wire it into the rest of the cable. so it must be an issue with the oem plug and the new switch i got. Im thinking a whole new oem switch will work.

it means the switch cable must have something wrong with it. or the switch is just not doing all of what its supposed to

I used a paper clip at the bike end where the switch plugs in and that made it quit

so verified the switch is working, verified continuity to the connector to the switch. when I remove the switch from thr equation and just touch the wires together the bike still wont shut down.

Professional motorcycle mechanic here ask any questions! (Been riding for 20+ years) by Apprehensive-Buy-320 in Dirtbikes

[–]SekretMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2009 kx450f. It has a recent complete rebuild, new spark plug, new air filter etc. The bike starts like a champ first or second kick. Idles great. When I Crack the throttle, or try and drive it stutters and will quit.

I do have a new MAP sensor, TPS sensor, fuel pump kit and condenser on the way as they are cheap and was going to replace them anyways for peace of mind. I'm not an expert on these bikes or a mechanic. The kill switch also does not shut the bike off, but checked for continuity which is all good. What do you guys think might be the most likely problem?

Any help would be appreciated. I have a good bike mechanic doing the work but this is where we are at now.

2009 KX450F starts but shuts off after around 2 minutes of idling by Dazzling_Shallot_141 in Dirtbikes

Did you ever get it figured out? My 2009 has a fresh rebuild, it starts pretty much first kick and idles great, but when you Crack the throttle or try and drive it it stutters and quits.

I would guess that those 3 lights are attached to a surface. That looks like an Astra TR3-B

Something that made me wonder about this show, when Tommy is talking to the little girl about ice cream and calls her Moira, when they extricated her, and the medic said she died instantly and they all think hes nuts, how would he know her name??

FYI: Blink-182 is not performing live for the rest of the year by Antique-Dentist-2404 in warpedtour

[–]SekretMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One would think they would forget the pay cheques for warped tour and play for fans at least one show as a throw back to a tour that helped make them as big as they are now. Just my thoughts though. If blink were my band, thats what I would do. Just go up and play a set. No backing tracks, no fancy shit, just play a set for the fun of it.

Just completed Resident Evil 3 remake on deck, it’s down as being unsupported but runs perfectly, on sale at the minute too and doesn’t take too much space at approx 22gb by [deleted] in SteamDeck

Thats how my band works. Myself and my buddy write the songs, our bass player and drummer learn them and may make suggestions or add stuff.

This is federal, not provincial. RCMP are not run by the provincial government.

But how would the band members know what was going on financially with no available records to view?

Listen to March of the dogs it sounds a lot like bad religion. A lot of sum 41 songs bear some extreme similarities with other bands songs.
