Installing alarm
In case you're still interested, shorting the kill switch will cut off ignition. Thus if your alarm has a circuit that closes when alarmed, wiring it across the kill switch will do what you want. Note that one side of the kill switch goes to ground, the other side is the BK/W wire that goes to the CDI and the ignition switch. Thus wiring your alarm would involve simply connecting one wire of the closing circuit to ground and the other one to the BK/W wire in the harness, either at the ignition switch or close to the cdi.
If instead your alarm has a circuit that opens when alarmed, wiring it in series with the BK/W will also do the thing. You would cut open the BK/W that goes to the cdi connect your alarm circuit to each end of the cut. In this case you are relying on the fact that the cdi must see 100ohm to ground on the BK/W circuit in order to work (there is a 100ohm resistor in the ignition switch for that purpose).

you think just like I do
but when I test the 2 wires that are supposed to kill my ignition on my alarm the are closed all the time
armed, or disarmed
only time they open is for a split second when you press the auto start button
because I was just going to take those 2 wires and tie them into anything that I could find that would keep the engine from starting
maybe that feature is bad on my unit
I do have another alarm same model on another bike
so I could test that one see if the wires actually work
