I got to thinking that it would be nice if our 1100's had a momentary push button start switch like alot of four wheelers have right on the handle bars.

YOu leave the key start switch there. Turn it to the run position and then use the factory kill switch to kill the motor and then have some sort of push botton momentary start switch to start it.

I can just hear the flaming now, "you lazy b-word, how lazy can you be?", but four wheelers have this, so why not sleds?

I like this idea. . . I am thinking it may be as easy as tapping into the wiring to the switch.

The main problem is I am to lazy to take the time to figure it out. The other main issue is that the key on the 11t keeps the gauge and stuff on when on even with the kill switch off.

Been done.....

If you search my good buddy Cold Puss on here for vids or ones I posted on here with his sled you will see it starts with the hi/low beam switch he converted to a momentary. He has a full halo/LED light show going on so doesn't need hi/low. It's not as easy as you think but putting in a separate switch would make it easier.

Get almost as many questions on that as the stereo. Super cool.

Leave it to the stereo guy :der:

The funny thing is about these torque tanks is that if you get stuck you can just hold the flipper WFO and bounce the machine back n forth and 95% of the time it pulls itself out. Only one warning I am now replacing my exchanger as a buried object in Utah damn near went through the exchanger using this method.

I've never met Jeff, but I do see how his minds works by reading the forums. Is it really true that he is so lazy, he married a pregnant women?

Good way to end up with a dead battery. I use the key to kill it as much as possible now. Used the kill switch but didn't turn the key off and ended up with a dead battery.

Hmmm, that is interesting.

I never use my key to kill the motor, and leave the key on for weeks in my garage and never had the battery drain at all.....just always have used the kill switch.
