Engine Kill switch
Street scooters and motorcycles are usually started and stopped by the ignition switch, but racing and motocross machines usually have an ignition breaker in the form of an emergency switch, also called a killswitch.
What is the purpose of a killswitch?
Quite simply, it shuts down the engine by breaking the circuit that provides the spark to the spark plug.
There are several types of kill switches: simple buttons like on motocross machines, on/off switches, magnetos or clip bracelets connected to the rider (this version only shuts off the engine in the event of a crash and is mandatory on quads and drag race scooters).
