^ truth to that.

My 8 year old little bro thought he'd be cool an try an kick off the 265. Well he weighs 63 pounds. It didn't go over too well. We thought it broke his ankle at first.

......If my kid or a kid of my neighbor take my quadracer and get harm or maybe get killed, or do an accident,  i am guilty.

Just TRYING to start quad will kill a kid.

I live in canada, and I don't run a key on any of my bikes or quads, except the can am outlander and the Suzuki twin peaks, cause they come with a key. It's not law that you have to key, at least not in western canada, if it was law they wouldn't sell dirt bikes with no key switch.

your right that a provincial law ...

It for safety and LAW it is illegal in Canada to park a vehicle without safe way to  prevent someone to start it. If my kid or a kid of my neighbor take my quadracer and get harm or maybe get killed, or do an accident,  i am guilty.

AND THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD REJECT SOCIALISM.

Next thing you know if you hurt or kill someone invading your home you go to jail.....wait a minute that already happens.

The keys were mounted in front of the cross bar pad on the the steering stem and behind the headlight.  I'm pretty sure that's where they were placed.

Nah the mount on the bar clamps. I've still got my key switch. I can snap a pic when I get home if wanted

Just leave the key switch on, and use the kill switch. Makes it simple..

So what is involved to get rid of it.  Do you have to splice wires together? Ground any wires.   All I want is a factory kill switch.   No key.

Just cut the wires or unplug.

My friends 500 had a key switch and it worked...to annoy you when you've kicked it a few times and forget that the key wasn't on. Haha. 5 minutes later he removed the whole thing.

And let's be honest, if a thief wants your stuff, no key will stop them. Lol

No, but a large dog & 30.06 or 12ga 3.5" mag will slow them down
Saiga 12 works well too....

AC CDI ignition closes to ground to shutdown. All you have to do it cut the wires to either kill switch to disable them.

Yes and yes to both question

Did these quads come factory with a key switch/ignition? If so, why would they have a key when you have to kick start them? It just seems bizarre. Was it so people couldn't steal it?
