I know you think it is the thread's fault but let's go over this one more time. It's really not that complicated. Yes, it does involve two steps rather than one but you just survived a run in with a big vehicle so I think you can handle it. Pay attention now. Hit the kill switch and then turn off the main switch. Try it a couple of times before you leave home to get the feel of it. Atta boy. You can do it. I knew it. Chit. I bet you forget again.

It's kind of a 2 step process, like walking and chewing gum at the same time. First kill switch, then ignition switch. Just have to get into the habit. Every once in a while I still forget.

why even mess with the kill switch? I know its all bout a panic situation or as some believe its hard on the electrics with the fi models. I dont use it ever on any bikes I have had incluiding fi.only thing I wish was the switch was behind the seat yet like earlier dynas
