Default KLX250 headlight/taillight/brakelight cutout switch?

Hello group. I use my KLX250s for archery hunting here in Montana. It is very quiet and smooth. I strap my bow to my backpack and leave right from the house for an evening hunt. The one thing I would like is the capability to completly shutoff the lighting when sneaking around the backcountry. I want to shutoff the headlight, taillight and brake light.A simplepush-pull switch on the handlebars would be very convient. Has anyone done this? Does anyone have a JPG of the wiring diagram so I can figure out a solution?

Thanks!

you might have to use a couple switches..... just follow the wiring and put a switch in line you could have a switch on the rear fender, under the rack maybe for the tail light, and you could have one on the bars, or by the gauges for the headlight.... should be easy.

Or a double pole switch.

I thought about the multiple switches, but hoped that I could find a common fuse where I could just cut power to all lights with one switch. Hence the need for a wiring diagram.

Well this probably won't help much, but a few guys on here have bought the full manual, and maybe they can either scan and save or mail you a copy of the wiring diagram.

Like I said, a double pole switch... Basically 1 switch, that can turn on or off 2 things. Split your wire going to your tail light, (probably haveto be your ground or you will only be able to cut out your break light, or your tail light) run a new wire up to the switch and back down to your splice making your switch break the circuit. Then same with your headlight, cut the wire, make a splice, run up to the switch and back down to your light. Voila, 1 switch.
Or you could use a relay, which basically you hook it up in a manner that a switch controls several switches, probably a little more complicated.

If the lights all run off of the save power source/fuse, then you could just jam a relay between them and +Vcc, and then just put add a switch to that.
