    2021 CRF 250r Kill Switch

    by Usher8 » Thu Jun 24, 2021 12:10 pm

    2021 250r wouldnt start yesterday. We unplugged the killswitch/mapping switch and it started and ran fine. Is there any way to fix the current switch or do i just need to buy a new one. Also is this a common problem, or something i can avoid some way?

    Welcome to the site !! \:D/

    I am guessing you washed the bike and got the switch wet and it shorted out ... usually the cause ... and yes that is a common issue ...

    Only solution is to replace it as it is internally shorted , most likely if water was the cause ...

    Avoid ..... washing the kill switch , I usually wrap a 1 gallon Zip-Lok bag over the end of the grip/bar , to cover it and use a long garbage bag tie to seal it off , then wash away , ... I also just wash everything else and leave that part and wash it by hand with a toothbrush and some cleaner , and I ALWAYS blow the switches off with air before attempting to start the bike , as that is when it will short out , is when you crank it and the circuit board is wet ... but yea , a dirt bike you can't get wet :roll: ..... all the electronics make the bike better , but make everything else worse ...like washing the bike ..

    Yea , Like I mentioned , all the electronics make the bikes nicer , but also makes for a pain when something goes wrong ...

    Hopefully the new switch fixes it ... [-oo
