nope you have gloves on an it's rubber, kill the engine!

MDK · DTR Legend

yeap first thing I would have done rip ht lead off ..no brainer

superted · DTR Respected Member

or choke it out

MDK · DTR Legend

when a bikes throttle is wide open the choke will in most cases not kill it .

sounds crazy but once had a bike that was throttle /carb was jammed wide open [not started for years ] and even when i pulled the ht cap of the bike carried on screeming and running for a good 3 mins with out a spark ???? some say it could have been crap in the head got white hot ??

but that video shows the need for a good kill switch of some sort ..imagine a bit of clothing being cought ot the wheel on your body and you can not reach the ht lead or switch ...

lanyard type kill buttons like on jetskis or boats are great to kill the engine if you fall off

ToySoldier · DTR Legend

if i had a offroad only bike id have one of theose ones your talking about mdk works as a kinda temp key to lol

louisBOSS · DTR Senior Member

My kill switch broke the over day, This reminds me of why i fixed it . Or maybe it when i was on a pw50 when i was younger, and this happened to me (BUT) the end can was in my face ,and was stuck in them sticky nettles. LOL GOOD times.

+1 on the lanyard type kill switch. i once fell off a bike and it bounced off the ground throttle side...then bounced off a tree and back at me,flippin thing nearly ran me over! seen quite a few runaway bikes on tracks confuse

NEV · Guru

Isn't there a type of Mercury kill switch available, that can automatically kill the bike when its laying flat on the floor?

NorDt · Guru

He proboably paniced and forgot he could have pushed the rear brake, I would too if my bike was screaming like that lol XD

I think I read somewhere it was a brand spanking new bike too, so I'd be crying like I'd just had my dick chopped off and frantically trying to stop the engine from annihilating itself

NorDt · Guru

Yeah ! Hahaha

Liam12 · DTR Legend

What would standing on the back break do? the bike engine will still be running??

NorDt · Guru

When the bike is in gear and the wheel spinning, If you stop the rear wheel with the rear brake the engine will stop too.. The engine is linked to the rear wheel trough the chain. Lol

Liam12 · DTR Legend

Yeah but the throttle is still stuck wide open so the bike will still be pinned wide open wouldn't it?? Ht lead is the best way to kill it!

Harry · Guru

Clutch is still engaged so if you managed to lock the back wheel it would force it to stall - unless your clutch is crap and then it will just slip like mad can't say I would want to try it out and see

NorDt · Guru

Liam, Ffs. The point of pushing the brake would be to stop the engine, to make it stop screaming, If he locked the rear wheel with the brake he would have stopped the engine,

If you make the rear wheel stop, You make the transmision stop, And when the bike is in gear and the transmission stops the crank and piston also stoppes, Wich means the bike wont suck any more fuel into the cyllinder, And the spark plug wont ignite because the piston has stopped.

Liam12 · DTR Legend

Ah now I see what you mean, my bad! wonder how they did actually stop it in the end!!

dirtpoor · DTR Senior Member

the reason a bike keeps running after you turn off the killswitch at full throtle is because the engine is spining so fast the compresion causes the fuel to ignight with no spark. honda used this to thare advantage when thay made the crm250ar the ar is shortend from a.r.c active radical combustion.
