I don't understand why he put an extra kill switch on the handle bars? Or where the wires are running.
I am wondering about the previous wiring tie in. Could it be that the kill switch is grounding out on the handle bars or the odometer is grounding out by connecting to the frame? Do all your indicator lights work properly before you put it into gear that is, the neutral light, side stand light, and high beam indicator work? And more importantly do they all stay on or work except the neutral when you put it in gear and it cuts off? If one of your indicator lights don't work except neutral you've narrowed down the problem to that loop. If your high beam, turn signals, or horn don't work after it shuts off your problem is a ground there. You can't run them to long with the engine off or your battery will go dead.

Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: My Bike Won't Go into First My bike is rigged to a toggle switch under the handle bars. It's kinda ratty, but I love it that way. The power to the digital odometer the previous owner had on it remained on. It just kills the engine. The fuse box appeared to have no blown fuses. The next step is to take the tank off or get my hands on a shop manual (I only have the owners manual) and try and identify the possibilities and work backwards from there...If anyone knows any other things that could be causing my bike to shut off when I put it into gear let me know.
