Comp release? Kill button?

(1/3) > >>

Brute:
For you SuMo guys out there. I have been playing with the corner entry using the kill button on my KX5 SuMo. The 'run on' is particularly disturbing to me as it is fairly violent with the big 500 one lunger. I have tried just pulling in the clutch but if I do not get the RPM right when I am starting to add power it is not smooth either.
I am considering moving the kill switch and placing it on a bracket right below the throttle tube for easy thumb access. The kill switch seems to be the smoothest of the options so far. There is less 'jump' when I take the thumb off and the engine is at the correct RPM for the gear I am in.
The other thing to try would be a cable compression release in place of the 'starting only' one.
Opinions? Suggestions?

With the lighter flywheel mine does shorter less violent 'Run On'
But that sounds like a possible solution.

Brute:
Mine has the light one also but I never did any real asphalt with it even when it had the stock one and the heaviest added weight. Dirt was much more forgiving in that sense.

jafab had built a cable operated one for the 14mm releases cant seem to find a pic. I was always going to copy it for mine but never got around to it.

Omar's Dirt Racing has one with a one way valve so no crap gets sucked back in but it is also 14mm.
