4. Operating Instructions
The JAVIK Right Handlebar Switch provides essential controls for your motorcycle's engine. Familiarize yourself with the button functions before operating your vehicle.
4.1 Engine Kill Switch (Red Button)
- Function: Immediately cuts power to the engine, stopping it in emergency situations or for routine shutdown.
- Operation: Press the red button to engage the engine kill function. The engine will stop. To disengage, press the button again or move it to the 'Run' position (if applicable, depending on switch design).
4.2 Engine Start Switch (Black Button)
- Function: Engages the starter motor to crank and start the engine.
- Operation: Ensure the engine kill switch is in the 'Run' position. With the ignition on, press and hold the black button to start the engine. Release the button once the engine starts.
4.3 Engine Stop Function (Integrated with Kill Switch)

- Operation: The red button typically serves as both the kill and stop switch. Moving it to the 'Off' or 'Kill' position will stop the engine.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your handlebar switch.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the switch housing with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the switch for any signs of physical damage, loose connections, or corrosion. Check the wiring for fraying or exposed conductors.
- Functionality Check: Before each ride, ensure all switch functions (start, stop, kill) operate correctly and smoothly.
- Lubrication: No internal lubrication is typically required for sealed switches. If buttons feel stiff, a small amount of silicone spray may be applied externally, but avoid spraying directly into electrical contacts.
