RE: Once in a while a thread hurts!
You're looking at it all wrong, Denim. You should wait for everyone else to change over to the way you do things- not vice versa.
I haven't touched that stupid kill switch since the day I bought the bike, and have never used one to turn a bike off in my life.
I'll keep doing it that way till everyone else starts doing it my way. Then we'll all be right!

This is all too funny, the kill switch is supposed to be for emergencies, why would you ever use it to park the bike, afraid the ignition switch won't work? Maybe the bike will fall over if you don't use it! lol

Bestest thing to do is rip all them dang switches off, stick a couple four toggle switches on (ignition, lights, signals, starter) and then it don't matter. After all, if'n they're gonna rip your bike, they're gonna rip it. Give a dumb thief enough switches to try and figger out and he'll just go to the HD with normal switches so's he can do it without thinking.

Thank you Lost1! You have confirmed what my wife angrily yells out..."You're always right!!!" To which I usually respond, "Nice of you to admit it!"

I just bought my 07 Super Glide and I read the whole booklet that comes with it and it says to use the kill switch to stop the motor but it doesn't say why. I never used the kill switch on my last bike and I don't see why I'd need to on this one. I'm in the Army so I know that just because something is written doesn't mean it's right. A lot of Army doctrine falls into this category.

RE: Once in a while a thread hurts!
Hey I know what you mean I did it once .. that is leave the ignition on but I all ways use the kill switch then the key.
used to ride with a dude that would wait till the light turns green at a intersection then reach over and hit your kill to leave you standing at the light. till he did it to the wrong guy and at the next light he got shut down. It wan't pretty but he never did it again..
