Anybody ever riged one up, or tried to? I gunna try to hook one up before learning acrobatic stuff, because I don't want my bike to run into **** at 40mph . Any tips? What kind of range do the remote start devices have that go on on vehicles? How much do they cost?

ive thought of this before but never really did anything with it, i know that when i bail off my bike im not thinking of a kill switch i got other things on my mind at that time, so a thought that i had was to use a remote and acuator off a radio controlled airplane, first remove your kick stand switch and rig up the actuator so it holds the botton down and the bike will run but once your out of distance ofcourse the actuator will not work and the bike will cut out. this is just an idea and im not sure i would trust it myself i would hate to be doing a crist or somthing and have the bike shut off while in gear but what ever you figure out let us know im interested in somthing like this myself

The remote killswitch wouldn't be for me to hit. I would probably tape it to the video camera that's being used tape me.

then i say thats a great idea and should be easy to do, a good alarm guy should be able to figure that out easy

It would be easy and most modern alarms have about 300 yards range, but there are some fm systems that can work up to 1.5 miles!

Am i missing something here or wouldnt one of those manual kill switches basically do the same thing? Ya know the ones with the cord that you hook onto a article of clothing or around your wrist or somethin. I see them used on some bikes in stunt vids.

Wouldnt this serve for the same type of purpose? if you fall off yer bike will shut off... or maybe im missing what you intend on using it for?

sprocketz

that would be a verry bad thing.......your going to be moving around on your bike doing stunts it would be verry easy to accidently kill the motor and you will crash but the good news is the bike will die out

f4rider

Yeah, i don't think an elevator would be a good idea with one of those.

just have a long enongh cord the coils back up and when your putting it on your bike set it up so it wont pull out by accident. i know plenty of people that run them without a problem

sprocketz

bad idea

sprocketz

for drag racing or somthing it would be a good idea........not stunting

the only thing I can think of iwth a remote hookup that a freind hits would be that you'd really have to trust your freind. I know people that I'd never trust with something that important. If someone doesn't fully understand the reprocusions of hitting the switch when you're doing a christ or something, things are gonna get ugly.

sprocketz

ya i was going to mention that but i think that goes without saying

NovaMan

thats what i was thinking, but yeah i understand how something could go very bad with one heh

Got2josh

would make for some incredible crash footage though

just put it in neutral. if you fall off, it won't keep going (as far).

what happens when your freind with the remote desides to be a dick and shuts the bike off while your in the middle of something oh well if you get it working let me know how it works out
