should my Ford F-150 have a 'kil switch' or should I continue to disconnect the coil
wires and then turn the key off?
(I use 10w30 in it if it matters)

 

No need for a Kill switch on a Ford; they just die on their own.

 

To reduce switch arcing how about leaving the bike in gear after coming to a stop and holding the brakes on then popping the clutch to stall the engine then turning off the kill switch then turn off the ignition?

 

Didn't anyone else get a users manual with their bike? Page 36 in mine says the "kill switch" is used to start and turn off the bike.

Ride well,

I use the kill switch. I think it is for safety more than anything. Your hand is always near the brakeif you use the kill switch and frequentuse of it should help you find it in an emergency.

Ihelped a guy, a few years ago,losing control of his Ultra while parking it. He got a fist full of throttle while trying to park it near a car. Ran his bike into the fender of the car and was hung up and engine racing, rubber burning. He had hold of the brake and throttle open at the same time and froze. I helped him find his kill button. Messed his bike up a little but did a couple thousand to the cars fender.

 

I train myselfbydoing some things the same way every time andI've always used the kill switch to control the engineand used the ignition switch to control everything else. It's become automatic for me and that was indeed deliberate so that if (when) I have a sudden emergency, it doesn't even occur to meto try andmove my hand down to the dash to stop the engine. Lots of kill switches are still working fineeven after they've been used.

 

I use Ignition for regular use Kill switch for emergency's. Like the idea of reminder for being in gear. Gonna use that. Thanks!

 

Hey Dawg-I was kidding. I know what a kill switch is- just haven't used it in so long, I don't even notice it's there anymore.
