My question is for icyuod2. I have a tear drop style headlight which has a lot of room left over in the cavity and I'm thinking of mounting a kill switch in the space, my question is by lengthing the wires do you get as hot of a spark at the spark plug? (longer wires less spark?)
to be honest i havent pulled the plug to look. (i will)
i rode the bike in both the temp set up and with the longer wires and didn't notice a difference. that being said i didn't take both rides on the same day so i might not have noticed slight decreases in preformance.
to be fair, i didn't lengthen the spark plug wire, i only lengthened the wires that power the electronic ignition.
from my understanding, adding a few feet of extra wire, will make no difference.
sure like to hear from the experts though.
Hope your plug looks good. I've put off adding a kill switch for quite a while now because of not having a good mounting place close to the electronic ignition. I've been using the choke as a kill switch but I want to be able to kill the engine in an emergence with out taking my eye's off the road. Here's a pic of the light I'am planing installing the switch in, looks like it shouldn't take any more additional wire than you used mounting yours on your triple tree
