Hi its me again with yet another question? I need to install a lanyard kill switch on my bike, are there any particular ones to buy and where? I've looked for them but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. Any help steering me in the right direction would be appreciated. THANKS AGAIN, LANCE

Make sure the one you get is for "your" engine. There are some for two-strokes (which may include outboard motors) that open the negative lead, and some that'll open the positive, and some that'll just ground the ignition lead going to the magneto (or something. It's early -- no coffee yet).

I had really hoped there would be more information here. For the project i'm working on (turbine powered alered partial streamliner) i need the oil pump to keep running after the engine to cool it down. Could i get it approved if the killswitch lanyard only shut off the fuel pump which would stop the engine from running while allowing the oil pump to do what it needs to do to prevent major engine damage? My SCTA rulebook hasn't arrived yet, so i'll ask here.

I don't think that'd be a show-stopper, but I'd expect you'd be asked to demonstrate that it does shut down the engine positively. Let's see if someone can find a specific reason why it won't pass tech -- I'd like to know, too.

Hydraulic accumulator, a pressure vessel that uses a spring or gas pressure to provide oil under pressure without any electrical power! |

if you are talking about a scta event the lanyard has to kill the ignition and the electric fuel pump if you have one---doesnt say anything about electric oil pump--lights --or radio willie buchta
if you need it i will quote the rule book

On 9-27-08 we lost a great friend and fellow racer, he was the BEST, he helped anyone with anything at anytime. His name is Dave Owen and he will be missed by all that knew him and I am glad to have met him.
Seeing him at Bonneville during 2008 Speedweek was the tops, Dave was in awe of the salt and as usual was there helping out anyone who asked..simply put we lost a great man who will be missed by all.

This is my choice at the moment, a plastic copy of a pingle
It's all plastic construction, fully sealed and has the option for normally open or normally closed switching
It has a fairly stiff spring, so it doesn't fall out but i think that the plastic curly lanyard bit is rubbish
It is less directional so will also pull out if you go over the bars
so I would replace it with one of those Disc lock curly things that have a wire in them
As for where you could get them in the USA. I'm not really sure
Last one I bought cost me about $40.00 AU
And yes, If you come to Lake Gairdiner, and get me in motorcycle scrutineering, I will ask you to demonstrate to me that it stops the bike

During the crash your motor may ingest all types of crap.... is it really going to matter...  The only time the lanyard will shut you down is when you are no longer the rider of the bike. Some of us have seen bikes bring themselves back into control after the rider has departed... or is being dragged.... then like the bunny, they just keep going and going.... The rule says it must shut the motor off.... how it does it is up to you. |

Some of the cheaper kill switches can come loose due to all of the shaking that happens and kill the engine when you want it to go. This year we are using one of Pingel's best quality switches. The tech inspectors see a lot of these and we know it will be OK. The tether will be a length of mason's twine. This is strong enough to yank the pin out and weak enough to break if it gets tangled in anything.
