M MATI Handlebar Kill Switch Assembly for Yamaha WaveRunner FX1100/1000/1800 — Plug-and-Play Safety Lanyard

M MATI handlebar start/stop kill switch assembly with a safety lanyard is a plug-and-play replacement for compatible Yamaha WaveRunner models that lets you start the engine and immediately stop it with the tethered kill cord.

If your WaveRunner’s factory kill switch has failed, corroded, or lost its safety lanyard, this M MATI assembly restores full handlebar control. It is built to match the OEM connector and form factor for a straightforward install on a long list of Yamaha WaveRunner 1000, 1100 and 1800 models (see exact fit list). The kit combines an engine start button, an engine stop button and a safety lanyard that disconnects the ignition when pulled, helping you regain quick and reliable on-water shutdown control.

Which Yamaha models will this switch assembly fit?

This assembly is designed to fit many Yamaha WaveRunner FX and Cruiser models across the 1000, 1100 and 1800 families produced between 2004 and 2011. It specifically fits FX1000 series (2005–2008), FX1100 series (2004–2008) and FX1800/FY1800 series (2008–2011) models, excluding FZR/FZS variants.

• Matches manufacturer part F1S-68310-01-00 (replacement for F1S-68310-00-00)
• Fits Yamaha WaveRunner FX1100, FX1000, FX1800/FY1800 model years listed
• Not compatible with FZR/FZS variants — confirm model code on your craft
• OEM-style connector for direct plug-and-play replacement

How simple is installation and what tools are needed?

Installation is designed to be fast because the switch uses the same connector as the original Yamaha part. In many cases you can remove the old housing, unplug the factory wiring harness, and plug in the M MATI unit without wire splicing. Basic hand tools are typically sufficient for handlebar access and reassembly.

• Plug-and-play connector eliminates soldering or cutting wires
• Common hand tools (screwdrivers, hex keys) for handlebar trim removal
• Visual check recommended to ensure the lanyard stops the engine after install
• Follow safety check steps after installation to confirm operation

What does the safety lanyard do and why test it after install?

The red safety lanyard attaches to the rider and is wired to the kill switch so a sudden dismount or emergency pull removes the connection and shuts the engine. Because the lanyard is the primary safety device for an overboard event, you should test it immediately after installing to confirm the engine stops reliably when the lanyard is pulled.

• Engine stop engages instantly when lanyard is removed
• Designed for easy replacement of worn or corroded factory cords
• Visual and functional check recommended after mounting
• Contact seller within one year if product defects occur

What features and functions does the assembly provide?

The unit combines an engine start switch, an engine stop button, and a lanyard-operated kill function in one compact handlebar housing. It replicates OEM layout and wiring so riders get the same control feel and reliable electrical connections as the original part.

• Start button and stop button integrated into a single housing
• Safety lanyard kills ignition immediately when detached
• OEM-style electrical connector for a secure, factory-fit connection
• Easy install reduces downtime — get back on the water quickly

Who is this for: This M MATI handlebar start/stop kill switch assembly is aimed at WaveRunner owners, mechanics, and marinas that need a direct replacement for a worn, damaged, or missing kill switch on compatible Yamaha FX1000, FX1100 and FX1800/FY1800 models.
