I use the kill switch to cut it off. The newer models have a tilt switch in case you lay it down to shut it off. AND it works too....Don't ask how I know this...[:@]

RE: KILL SWITCH
The kill switch on my 1974 Sporty gave out about 1983. I did not have any coin so I just jumped the wires to eliminate it. Round about 1985 I was passing a truck on the freeway at close to full throttle. The throttle chose that time to stick. I did not want to blow the engine by clutching so I had to reach down and hit the key below my left leg. Bike did not have a speedo but I was going waaaaaaaaaaaaay to fast to ride with one hand. Kill switch works now!!!!!!

RE: KILL SWITCH
Yeah, when I had an oops, I saw that digital "t i l t" thing on the readout. Didn't have a clue what it meant; and thought I'd screwed the motor for a second or so. Man, that was a few days after getting the bike...... scared the hell outta me.
That's a superb idea though, having the engine shut down if the bike goes down on it's side.

Some blonde chick pulls out in front of me so I hit the "KILL" switch expecting her to die instantly but all that happened was my bike shut down. Guess I should have read the owners manual.................BG
