last year I got smoked off the line by some much slower riders on can ams, not a huge deal because I was able to pass them within the first few miles but it cost me my rad getting dirt shoveled in and later some unnecessary limp mode caused from overheating.

its awkward to try and reach around with my left hand to turn the key over and then pin the throttle with my right while getting my left hand back up to the bars. I did some prodding and poking on the interwebs and with a race friend and I figured out what to wire up/tap into.

I bought the "Cambridge Push Button Momentary Switch, 20A, 12V DC, 240W" from tractor supply for $3, drilled a 1/2 hole and mounted it on the left side of my display pod, closer to the bars.

used 2 female spade style clips with ~18" of 18gauge wire, crimped and heatshrunk everything together.

remove hood piece, unplug the 4 wire harness that plugs into the back of the key switch (key switch, not the auxillary plug!)

used 2 quick splice connectors to tap into the following wires:

2014 850: one wire to keyswitch pin A which is ORANGE
one wire to keyswitch pin B which is BLUE w/ YELLOW tracer

2014 1000: one wire to keyswitch pin A which is RED w/ BROWN tracer
one wire to keyswitch pin B which is BLUE w/ YELLOW tracer

2015 850/1000: one wire to keyswitch pin A which is BROWN
one wire to keyswitch pin B which is BLUE w/ YELLOW tracer

I was told running this in parallel would give me the push to start button and the turn key as a back up. my turn key however would not work on its own after I tapped into the wires…

also, the first time I attempted to start the quad the button wouldn’t work, I pulled the quick splices back apart and found that the metal tapper wasn’t cutting through the rubber to make good contact with the copper wire. I had to strip a small piece out an re crimp the quick splice, then we worked!

unfortunately on my fourth push button start my damn plugs must have fouled again, (3rd time in a month) and all I could get was some crank no start. So tonight I’m swapping plugs and draining the gas out. guessing that VP110 is a bit much for the poor scrammy

I will take some more pics tonight of what I did
