One of the first things I do to my bikes is replace that "kill switch" with a "dead man's switch"..... more efficient dontchaknow. I like to wrap the rip cord around my neck, as it eliminates the unnecessary waste motion of having to look, grope around for, and reach with my thumb to trip a bright orange switch during a parking-lot tumble.

Oh and as a side, and I choose NOT to use Royal Purple in the final drive anymore. Instead I fill it with WD-40, you know.... that multi-purpose "water displacement" stuff? And when I change it out, rather than tossing it...... I use it on the bathroom mirrors as a defogging agent, clean crayon markings off the hall walls, rub into my sore joints, and stir some in with my kelp/psylium and grape juice in the morning.

Kill switch, kelp, and WD-40.... don't leave home without it!

Hey Pat, I heard WD-40 is also good for cleaning cat poop off of your kitchen table as it discourages a repeat deposit unless your cat is really vindictive. I wouldn't know for sure, as my dog always holds it till we come home, then rushes outside to use the end of the back yard.

Uncle Robby,
How'ed you know 'bout my kitchen table?!?!?
My cats been emailing you?

You sick puppy...

as these bikes don't have a fuel-valve i always use the QD's to stop the enigne running, so the engine stays clean
only verry occasionally i use the KS : at night when it's verry dark, kill the engine first the lights remain on so i can find the centerstand and thentake out the key

The kill switch used to come in handy when faking a hard start. There are situations where that is a good idea.
