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...
@spookdog Next weekend I'll check what you say. Ty!

@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
@spookdog I don't have that... no black-yellow wire... check the photo that I upload. Anyway I will check everything! Ty

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

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.
