Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Apico Kill Switch, ensure your motorcycle is powered off and the battery (if applicable) is disconnected. Mount the switch assembly to your handlebar using the provided bracket, tightening it until firm but not over-torqued. Route the wires along your existing harness, using zip ties to prevent snagging on cables or frame components. Connect the wires to the appropriate ignition ground or coil feed points as dictated by your specific Suzuki RM manual. For maintenance, periodically inspect the switch housing for debris or grit that might hinder the button action. Keep the electrical connections dry and free of corrosion by applying a small amount of dielectric grease during the initial installation.
