Keyless ignition question.
Specifically, late models with radios. Let's say you're pulling into the garage, and your favorite tune just started playing on the radio. How do you kill the engine without interrupting the song? I realize a long press on the trigger switch puts the bike in ACC mode, but does it kill the engine without interrupting the tunes? Looking for actual hands on experience.

Hold the brake, put the bike in 3rd gear and dump the clutch, engine dead and power uninterrupted, LoL. Seriously though, it only takes like 2 seconds to kick the radio back on with the trigger, is the song that important?

No, it was just a scenario I came up with. I'm considering the keyless ignition flash for my 2018 FLHXS. Currently, if the engine is running, and I rotate the ignition switch to ACC, the engine stops, but power to the ACC circuit remains uninterrupted. I was just wondering if the keyless ignition ACC mode behaved the same way.

I must be missing something . WTF is the big deal with switching to key less in the first place. I have never used the key any way it does not hurt a thing being there.
I am going to be unable to ride for awhile so there will be time to hook up the Centurion and look at the setting just to know what they are.

Yes, I understand that. My question is doing that while the engine is running shut down the engine?

my bike when still rolling and I flip the switch off the engine stops but the radio will still play until I come to a complete stop. so if I'm listening to a song I just flip it back on before I stop rolling.
