Just curious if any ever one uses a teather style kill switch on there stunt bikes??

 

Hell no...Can't run nothin like that cause when your jumpin around the bike n **** you could get caught on it or accidently pull the teather and end up killin the motor and eventually killin yourself.Not a very good idea my friend.

 

I second that with a HELL NO. Drag bikes, yes.

 

thats what I figured but I seen one with it at a stunt show

 

terriable idea man DONT DO IT!!!!

 

a proximity sensor would be sweet

 

I wanna do a Proximity sensor/RFID ignition on mine...

 

it would def give me more piece of mind practicing acros

 

it sounds great when you think of it so your bike doesnt go into crowds of people, brick walls, or continue running when upside down, but like dude said if your doing a frog or something and that bitch malfunctions on you, oh boy.

 

yea....i wouldnt run it...pull ins off of spreaders just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen with one of those

 

RyanS has been runing a deadman tether switch for long time....

few others too....

 

pass .

 

+1, ive had my bike shut off more then once during straightline, its no fun.

 

what about a retractable lanyard that would connect to your belt?
that would allow any movement you needed and yet if you fell it would kill the bike.. or is this a matter of the cord being in your way when you go to put both feet on one side?

sorry im not a ''bike bike'' stunter so i wouldnt know how all that jazz works... my 50 just falls over and its done..

 

anything with a cord as a shutoff could be problematic. if you are moving around the bike or jumping around and your leg accidentally catches it, you just killed the bike while you arent situated. never a good thing

 

just put the kill switch in a position that you wont kick it or hit it. Sounds like a good idea because I got knocked off my bike at 70 MPH on the freeway. Bike never shut off nd it hydrolock along with other problems. Anyway a kill switch that shut off the bike would definately save your bike if the bank angle sensor has been removed. I just installed a lanyard killl switch on mine. I put in on the right side....super stealth facing downward and protected behind my acerbis. I am gonna attached that to my right arm.....

 

I remember WAAAAAY back when they decided it was a good idea to require tethered kill switches at comps at Englishtown, NJ. None of us thought that was very safe so we hooked them to the forks under the triple... no one ever checked to see if they worked so we rode like that all day hahaha

 

i remember that, those ******* made me buy one to compete

 

my bike tends to just lay down anyway when i ghostrider

 

how much was that?!?

yeah just another money grubbing scam! we actually bought these cheap *** coiled tether key chain things, you know the ones that come in all the rad 90's colors... somehow it passed their "tech" haha
