Kill switch sound normal?
Is this normal, or should I only hit the kill switch when I am at a complete stop?
I don't want to have my noisy bike wake up the people at my home, and also don't want to make a complete stop in the street, and then walk the bike down my driveway.

last i checked, that is also the way that one would push start anyway.
you are basically saying dont move a bike if it isn't on....

I use the kill switch all the time. After I ride up my drive way, I use the kill switch as I enter my gararge and coast to where I park the bike. Never heard that kind of sound so can't say it's "normal". Do you have a carbureted bike?

How would your engine know that the bike is moving when you shut it off?

I use the kill switch sometimes when I get lazy from a long ride. My driveway is fairly long and slopes downhill a bit, so I just coast in. Has never made any sort of noise.
