    This is all that is left of the wiring on the project sprint bike. Does anyone know the best way to wire in a cut off switch for a lanyard. I read that certain engine stopping methods should not be used too often.
    Thanks

    I don't know about being used too often, never heard that before.
    I would suggest putting the cut out in the Black/Yellow going from CDI box to coil.
    What does the Black/White do in a full system? Could that be the earthing wire to the original main switch? If so then use it for cutout with switch going to an earth point.

    Thanks Murdo
    The tethered cut off is a requirement for Speed Events in some places.
    Ok, switch in the black/yellow to the coil to interrupt the signal.
    The black and white in my picture is only white in an original diagram and seems to be a tapping off a generator coil. Thanks for that.

    I think you will find it is a requirement for Speed events such as Speed Week at Lake Gairdner, Bonneville, etc. Not required for Drag racing as far as I know..

    Yes I think it is only for speed events.
