Interestingly I fitted mine the other day in a weather gap. Switching the power feed on the DC feed doesn't stop it sparking. I presume that this is because there is juice in the circuit when you turn it over, as I know the way mine is wired the regulator feeds into the circuits even if the battery isolator is in the off position - some things still work.

Next time it's dry enough I'm going to try the green - red kill mechanism as I need to be able to switch it off...

This is the correct way to do it with all ignitions that don't use the stator's LT coil.
The alternative way is to use a different ignition switch from a donor motorbike which can be hard to find.
