FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Apico Kill Switch With Magnet?
Its main purpose is to enhance rider safety by automatically cutting the motorcycle's engine if the rider becomes separated from the bike, preventing uncontrolled movement.
Is this kill switch suitable for all types of motorcycles?
No, this kill switch is specifically designed for trials motorcycles and meets ACU standards for junior competitors.
How do I attach the kill switch lanyard?
The elasticated lanyard attaches to your riding gear, and the magnetic end connects to a specific post on the motorcycle. Ensure a secure connection that will disengage upon separation.

It means the kill switch complies with the safety regulations set by the Auto-Cycle Union, making it approved for use in junior competitions they sanction.
How often should I check the kill switch?
It is recommended to inspect the lanyard and magnetic connection before each ride and perform a more thorough check periodically for wear and cleanliness.
Can the magnet be affected by other magnetic objects?
Strong external magnetic fields could potentially interfere with the magnetic connection. Keep the switch and magnet away from powerful magnets when not in use.
What should I do if the kill switch lanyard gets dirty?
Clean the magnetic surface with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using any liquids or abrasive materials that could damage the magnet or connection.
Troubleshooting
Kill switch not cutting the engine
Ensure the magnetic lanyard is fully disconnected from the switch. Check for any obstructions on the magnetic surfaces. Verify the lanyard is correctly attached to the motorcycle's kill switch wiring.
Lanyard disengages too easily
Check for excessive wear on the lanyard or magnetic connection. Ensure the magnet is fully seated before riding. Consider if a different length lanyard is required.
Magnet is dirty or corroded
Clean the magnetic surface thoroughly with a dry cloth. If corrosion is present, gently clean with a soft brush. Avoid using liquids or harsh chemicals.
