'05fse450 has no kill switch

[flybars]

Do not understand why this bike with all the dualsport electronics doesn't have a kill switch.
It has the identical starter button has the '05 Ktm. Also Ktm has a matching kill switch button. So I'll go with Ktm kill switch.
It's probly a real easy install, but a photo and instructions would sure help.Thanks alot, Bob

Are you sure you don't have a yellow? button on the top of the turn signal housing on the left handlebar ? Its kinda hard to press in.

edit: sorry, I was going from bad memory. Yellow is the horn. The kill switch is grey and on the top/backside of the same signal housing. It doesn't have a lot of off/on feel, but if you push it hard enough it works.

Thanks Cnd280. But I don't have grey button anywhere on the'05fse450.
The only switch that would have worked is the spring toggle button thing (black) on left front just ahead of horn switch. But it just lights up the headlight when pushed in, then shuts them off when u let up and labeled (lap). Thanks, Bob

I'm curious why the 4T bikes don't have a kill switch? I looked in the 2005 and 2007 FSE manuals, but the left handlebar switch is not discussed. Only the key ignition is discussed for on/off. Would a kill switch cause an issue with the EFI system?

I wondered this. I suspect there are too many things that need switching off. Simply killing the engine would leave the fuel pump running. But ... surely a rocker type like road bikes could be used rather than a press and hold? It could just kill all power via a relay?

We've got an '06 450 at our place at the moment. It has a kill switch? Where the starter button is, there is a red button above it, which allows the engine to be shutdown with the key still on. However the speedo or anything doesnt run without the engine running. You guys dont have this red button??
