Kill switch doesn't work
-
Kill switch is just two wires. Follow them back to the loom. It sounds like a wire is broken inside the insulation.
The kill switch basicly earths the coil. I’d use the original switch gear...

@jaimegonzalezlu
it’s a black wire with yellow stripe (I think) that shares a connector with the ignition barrel, And a plain black earth wire...It is on my 1988 Dtr anyway

@jaimegonzalezlu
It’ll be black with white stripe then... -
No solution works so my DTX is now resting in a workshop. Will refresh after they tell me what is going on.

Does the key ignition turn off the engine?...
-
@spookdog Yes it does. The problem was the wires that connect into the clutch in the handlebar. I don't know why, and what are those wires, but it cause a problem with the kill switch. I removed them and all its good. Problem solved
-
@jaimegonzalezlu the wire for the kill switch is black with white stripe it runs in a y shape goes from cdi to ignition barrel then kill switch hope this helps
-
The clutch sensor is part of a kill circuit iirc. I thought only electric start bikes had them though...
P.S thanks for letting people know it’s fixed, as well as how. It helps people searching for something similar, problem wise

It's a DTX (2005) so yeah, it has electric starter.
Ty for your answers. I hope that this post help someone else. That's the point of forums
